Blow Job and Eat

Sooo...for some strange reason I've been on the huge Andy Warhol obsession kick. In 1964, he made a short film called Blow Job, which shows DeVeren Bookwalter receiving fellatio reportedly from 5 different men. I was completely thrilled when I saw that youtube had a clip of it, but then again, youtube has almost everything. The film only shows Bookwalter's face and allows the viewer to assume what's going on that the camera does not show. The question remains, is this film pornography, erotica, or high fucking art. To me, it alludes to Nia's sound art piece 'Phone Jacker ding ding", in which you can hear the sounds of masturbation, but can't see anything. In Blow Job, you can see the mans face, but can't see the sexual act occuring. So if Warhol's Blow Job could be considered pornography, is 'Phone Jacker Ding Ding' pornography as well based on its broad definition? Here is the clip of Blow Job. Enjoy



Here is the follow up film called 'Eat'. Subliminal message central.
