Household

About This Movie

Household is a curious exploration of everyday life, directed by Allan Kaprow, who was really at the forefront of performance art. The film captures a series of domestic scenes that blur the lines between the mundane and the performative, creating an atmosphere that's both familiar and strangely disconcerting. You can feel the pacing as it drifts, almost like life itself—some moments linger while others just flow by. Its use of practical effects is minimal, yet effective, emphasizing the rawness of the happenings. The performances, often unscripted, give it a real sense of spontaneity. It feels like a snapshot of time, an experimental journey into the lives we live, and a reflection on the nature of art in daily existence.

Household is a rare piece within the performance art genre, and as such, it doesn't have a wide release history. Digital formats are available, but collectors often seek out original 16mm prints for their authenticity and tactile quality. The film's scarcity and experimental nature contribute to its intrigue, making it a notable entry for those interested in post-war avant-garde cinema.
