Andy Warhol Eating a Hamburger
Jorgen Leth
1981
Andy Warhol Eating a Hamburger is a scene from Danish filmmaker Jorgen Leth’s 1981 film 66 Scenes from America. The filmmaker originally planned to limit the film to 40 scenes, but he and his cinematographer became so enamored with his method that they decided to add 26 more. Warhol reportedly asked for a McDonald’s burger before filming, but agreed to eat one from Burger King instead. The hamburger is a similar symbol to Warhol’s beloved Coca-Cola. The latter tastes and costs the same whether it’s being drunk by a president or a beggar on the street.
“Andy Warhol Eating a Hamburger” on stseen Taani filmitegija Jorgen Lethi 1981. aasta filmist “66 Scenes from America”. Esialgu plaanis filmitegija piirduda 40 stseeniga, kuid sattus koos operaatoriga oma meetodi lummusesse ning nad otsustasid 26 steeni lisamise kasuks. Väidetavalt küsis Warhol filmimise eel McDonaldsi burgerit, kuid oli nõus ka pakutud Burger Kingi oma sööma. Hamburger on teatud mõttes sarnane sümbol Warholi armastatud Coca-Colale. Viimane maitseb ja maksab sama palju olenemata sellest, kas seda joob president või kerjus tänaval.
