A Mat for all Seasons - Andy Warhol trains a fixed camera on a door mat throughout the year. Through time-lapse photography we see what it looks like in rain, snow and sun. The film lasts for eight hours, during which the most exciting event is the few seconds during which the mat disappears to be dry-cleaned.
