ABSTRACT
Kitchen is a production of a problematic sexuality in the viewer. It is a forerunner of structural/materialist film. It is a “classic” of the avant-garde, largely unseen. Kitchen is in black and white, of sixty minutes' duration. “A murder is committed on the table in a white kitchen. A photographer keeps coming into the frame; the actors interrupt what they are doing and pose for pictures; pages of script are handed to the actors, who follow them. The happenings inside and outside of the frame are equally important to the interchange. Andy Warhol, Kitchen (1965) https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315852041/cc78498e-98e9-41a7-8739-5079aa5aaa92/content/fig14_B.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> Everyone sneezes throughout the film” (Jonas Mekas, “Filmography of Andy Warhol,” in John Copland Andy Warhol, New York Graphic Society, 1971).
