Andy Warhol - Empire

www.channelbeta.net ////////
The Empire State Building filmed for 8 consecutive hours from dusk till dawn of the following day, shot on the night of the 25th of June 1964 from the 44th floor of the Time Life Building. «Empire» is an object-trouvé, a ready-made that prefigured todays webcam images. It can also be considered a ‹structural film›: the obsessive repetition of the same image triggers our focus on the act of looking, on the value of the frame and most of all on the film duration. Time of reality and time of cinema are the same.

I can't wait for the Sweded version of this!

[TheSolaris810]

They showed this at the Tate Modern UK as part of a brilliant Warhol retrospective. People sat in this room, watched, and waited...waited...waited...fol­lowed by a few dry coughs...the odd snigger...and until one by one we exited the room...leaving one viewer who was completed riveted.

Warhol, having the last laugh as usual
