How did he die?
Your contact? Not well.
Camera: running! And...
Action!
Oh, hi! I didn't see you ...
Hi. Do you know who Duchamp was?
Duchamp? Never heard of him.
Toilet cleaning checklist
Sometime in 1917
Would you say that any of these is a work of art?
They could all be art. If you start to analyze them.
- Do you have any theories on that?
It's a long story ... What is art?
In a right environment, anything can be art.
How are you doing?
I'm dying, that's how.
- It's the guy who made the urinal. -Oh yeah? OK.
-It doesn't matter, just answer the questions.
Are you filming? -Mhm.
Do you know who Marcel Duchamp is?
Oh, that wannabe artist!
Come on, don't kid me. This is not art!
When you dook in the urinal, it's bad, m'kay!
How would you feel... if somebody came into your home
pulled down their pants and laid a big mud monkey right
on your mom's face?
It's a provocation.
You won't gain any aesthetic pleasure by watching a urinal.
Is it working? - We'll see.
Do you think that a urinal can be used as an artwork?
- It depends on how would you exhibit it.
If you had turned it around and put it on the table?
- Yes, because there are so many different models.
Do you know it's been called "Little Buddha"?
- Didn't know that.
Would you have it at home, in your living room?
- Yes, why not?
Would you pee in it?
- Not in the living room.
Write your name!
Stop it! Please!
For example: would you buy it if you were rich?
- I don't know ... Probably not ...
- Where would you put it?
If I bought it? I don't know ...
In a room, probably.
- Would you use it?
- No.
That's incredible!
Wow! That's amazing!
Good question. I might get one if I had too much money.
I would display it in the middle of the living room to see if it gets any reactions.
What if ... OK, that's about it.
If you gave me the script ...
I think it's an important work of art.
- How come?
It says so in the textbooks.
He says "Yes," because he can't say "No." Then he's totally embarrassed.
It's killing him.
I don't know what that was. Dadaism?
They were revolting ... pushing the boundaries, in a sense.
It tells something about art. It's not about ... I don't know what.
He pissed on other people's art.
Are you crazy?
No. I'm just marking my territory.
Whatever is signed and exhibited by an artist becomes a work of art.
Do you know who Marcel Duchamp is? - Yes.
- Know any of his works? - Yes, the urinal.
Exactly.
