Abstract

Abstract

The article analyses how predates slow cinema by evoking situative and existential boredom. Rather than simply facilitating modernist and temporal ways of seeing, Leth explores the creative potential of Warhol's post-Romantic boredom, marked by both duration and meaninglessness, to counteract the anti-immersion effect and amplify receptiveness.
