Outer and Inner Space

1966 · 33 min
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

A 16mm Warhol film of Edie Sedgwick sitting in front of a television monitor on which is playing a prerecorded videotape of herself. On the videotape, Edie is positioned on the left side of the frame, facing right; she is talking to an unseen person off-screen to our right. In the film, the “real” or “live” Edie Sedgwick is seated on the right side of the film frame, with her video image behind her, and she is talking to an unseen person off-screen to our left. The effect of this setup is that it sometimes creates the rather strange illusion that we are watching Edie in conversation with her own video image.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Warhol constructs the film around a minimalist yet potent doubling device, exploring the limits of identity and media reflection. The static shot and the monotony of conversation turn the screen into a laboratory for studying the very act of existing before the lens.

What lingers after viewing is an obsessive sense of duality, a question of where the 'real' Edie ends and her image begins. It is a meditation on how technology fragments and multiplies the self. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Andy Warhol
