John Latham made this artwork out of books, plaster and metal. He painted the pages of the books twelve different colours, and the books can be opened at different pages -so the artwork can look different to how you see it now. He made a short film using the painting, where the books open and close on different pages. There aren’t any people in the film – maybe that’s why he called the painting Film Star, because the painting is the star of the film!
Have a think about this artwork – does the title change the way you see it? What do you think it represents? Are these the open mouths of baby birds waiting to be fed, or half eaten hamburgers that have been thrown onto the ground? Use the space below to write the story behind the artwork, or tell us about how you would use the artwork in a film.

The Queen was OK with jam tarts. Her greedy husband could eat a horse in thirty seconds, in fact, he had broken a world record for it. But the Queen couldn’t stick him, let alone horses. The reason was, her own horse, Arnoldius, was born exactly sixty weeks before this happened, and they were hosting an anniversary party to celebrate, instead of a christening (bear in mind horses don’t usually have christenings) and as the last guest, the vet called Kelly Beadingsum, arrived, she stated she wanted a talk with the Queen over a jam tart. The Queen was too embarrassed to tell Kelly she didn’t like jam tarts, but Kelly pulled her onto a satin couch and shoved a jam tart into the Queen’s mouth.
The Queen liked jam tarts.

“John Latham!” Replied Hannah, “Why HIM?” asked Dad, shuffiling the news paper, Hannah had her mouth an O shape “Dad! He is an Australian Orthinologist!”
