Sleep
Filmfest 2015

SLEEP, made in 1963, though less direct in its exploration of what is seductive on the screen than BLOW JOB, holds a mirror up to our consciousness. It is not voyeurism but an allegory and metaphor on American movies' selfimposed straightjacket of cinematic codes, forms and adornments. Warhol gives us a new but more integral way of looking at things, a way that is not so much interested in special effects and fast action but sublte nuances. Warhol wanted to seduce us all to re-examine our way of looking at the world.
