Andy Warhol, Outer and Inner Space, 1965 2x16 mm film black-and-white, sound, 33min
Warhol's work combines video and 16 mm film, consisting of two 16 mm film reels projected side-by-side, each depicting Edie Sedgwick. The right TV monitor playing her own pre-recorded video interview - one of the earliest uses of video in the visual arts. Four simultaneous portraits are seen, producing the occasional illusion of Edie conversing with her own image. The title refers to the multilayered quality of the audiovisual installation.
