Screen Tests, Swinging

With too much time in my hands lately, I started exploring things 60s on youtube, hoping to catch glimpses of the world my parents were in when they were young.

Camouflage

Since I'm going to New York tomorrow, I'm posting some works from a couple of New York artists today, with a common theme - camouflage.

Empire, blue Empire

Before my projector broke down, I used to project an image of Eiffel Tower, or other favourite architecture of mine, on a wall at night.  I think it will be cool to project Andy Warhol's 8-hours-and-5-minutes-long film Empire on the wall all night long.  Empire is a silent black-and-white film made in 1964.  It is nothing but a continuous slow motion footage of the Empire State Building from dusk till late late night.  Here's a short clip of the film:
