SURREALISM AROUND THE WORLD: Where Dan and Vince look at other countries and go "What the hell is THAT?"
We've been talking a lot about the Japanese and how their "normal everyday" is pretty much our "Surreal," but we'd like to throw the spotlight on some other countries, as well.
Now, the Danish aren't exactly known for their Surrealist tendencies...I guess their mainly known for their breakfast pastries and that guy Hamlet. But I have to admit, this video is pretty Surreal. Huge domino chains aren't Surreal, and replacing the dominoes with beer bottles isn't Surreal, either. It's just a thing.
But we'd like to applaud the execution of this particular thing. It's the little touches that elevate "colossal waste of time" to "potential Surrealism." Little things like the unexpected music cue from Jaws, the interesting use of surfaces to create something akin to a John Cage soundscape, and then...well, I won't ruin it for you. I'll just say, if you get thirsty, and do what these guys ultimately do to whet your whistle, well, our hats are off to you.
Vince out.
Ps. And just to be clear, our hats are bowler hats. Like Magritte would've wanted.
