So, here we have a 4 minute video of Andy Warhol eating a hamburger. It’s an excerpt from 66 Scenes from America; a 1982 Danish documentary film directed by Jørgen Leth.
Is it art?
Of course it is! It’s a wonderful piece, from an era before the Internet — decades before people took photos of their lunch and posted it to Instagram. It causes us to ask questions. It captures our attention. Engages our curiosity. Yes, it’s art.
