I already talked about Jan Kounen, one of my favorite movie director, actor, writer and documentary maker in psychedelia …
Today, I want to show you “The last red chaperone”, his version of the famous fairy…
It’s in french and spanish subtitled, but the fact here is much more about the visuals and the techniques he used to give us the perception he wanted, and it’s a success !
Please, enjoy 😉

Lasse Gjertsen makes a bunch of artworks come alive and boy does it look trippy! You might remember Lasse from the 2006 viral hit Hyperactive.
“LSD Dream Emulator” is a PS 1-era game, it became cult classic for it being released only in Japan, and remaining widely unknown up till today. In the game you have to achieve no goal,there are no battles, nothing but exploring completely random environments. The main appeal for players is its insanity.
The only thing you have to do in it is to wander deeper and deeper into your simulated consciousness. Daring to face hallucinations that get more and more messed-up – without getting killed. Do you really want to get yourself into that trip?
The upper video was taken at the beginning of the game, while the bottom one (featuring the narration by the YouTube user who uploaded it), is from the final part of it.
In case you ever thought that even a bad trip has some truth to tell you, there should be more than enough truth in this show to endure its uncanny “realism”.
Please be careful watching this in any unstable condition of the mind and… enjoy!
A Japanese Alice in wonderland falls down the rabbit hole in search of her cellphone and lands in a bizarre world of magical brands. This amazing Superflat Louis Vitton by Takashi Murakami bears resemblance to Murakami’s Superflat First Love, and uses similar motives. It is a yet higher level of the mixture of the worlds of psychedelia, consumerism and magic.
We, the generation who survived the new-age holocaust of the 1980s, the 1990s and the 2000s, deserve to have our private little revolutions with a tacky aftertaste of saccharine, and sicker than ever before.
Army of Lovers pervert one of the the 1960’s most powerful anthems into an amazing hyper-consumerist vision of curious colorful glowing perversions.
As a Jan Kounen’s movie, I wanted to present a short sample…
Depiction of an ayahuasca trip from the movie Renegade aka Blueberry.
One of the best way I found to describe it in a movie…since it will never be possible to describe it as it is in reality…
A lovely illustration of the stoned ape theory of Terence McKenna. The animation is co-written by stand-up comedian Duncan Trussell.
For the curious, there’s an audio clip on Youtube where Trussell talks about his DMT experience.
This highly weird and trippy clip was produced using the same technique like the amazing Stargate sequence in “2001: A Space Odyssey”, slit-scan photography/animation.
