Discussion- What message is Andy Warhol trying to communicate to his viewers?
Andy Warhol was eating a hamburger in silence as a normal human being. The only thing different was that it was being videotaped. Andy Warhol's message was to just say "anything anyone does is art." We humans may eat a hamburger differently than Warhol. In the video, he took the top bun of the hamburger, and he folded the bottom bun with the patty, and dipped it in ketchup. It was like a taco. His video was a bit of a performance art piece because he was just doing a normal activity that any person does (eat) and for some reason we were really appealed to see someone else eat something that we've eaten before. This also, goes with the idea that many humans are obsessed with the fact of knowing what celebrities do in their daily lives, but I always think that they are humans. They eat hamburgers. They brush their teeth in the morning. They have bad breath in some moments. It is a normal thing that might seem out of the ordinary for others to just see someone eating a hamburger in front of a camera.
