andy warhol - kiss

Using a 16-mm black-and-white Bolex camera incapable of recording sound, Warhol created films with unexciting titles such as Sleep (1963), Eat (1963), and Kiss (1963–64). Sleep consists of over 5 hours of watching poet/performance artist John Giorno snoozing away. In Eat, Robert Indiana munches on a mushroom for 45 minutes. Different couples appear kissing in slow motion in Kiss. In each of these films very little happens, and nothing that we haven’t seen before. Warhol takes reality to the extreme of its lack of uniqueness, except that it’s all caught on film.
