“Kiss” is a structural film based on a sequence of takes showing the artist—who frequently worked with self-portraits—performing the characteristic gesture of blowing a kiss. This gesture’s repetition demonstrates the conventions on which it is based. Moreover, it is aimed squarely at the camera—transcending the fourth wall and confronting the viewer of the film with a pleasant greeting. D.M.
