Cocorosie

16 Jun

Watching videos by the music group Cocorosie it is clear that there is a psychedelic aesthetic that exists in all of them. Their gender bending performance and twisted lyrics join beautifully created videos to create ultra-short film masterpieces. I was not surprised when I found out that in their childhood the sisters, Bianca and Sierra, joined their father who explored the traditions of American Indian to vision quests. In their videos they succeed in creating  twisted realms of alien beauty with a dark side to them…

Tomorrow Never Knows

13 Jun

Hi there. This is my first post as a new contributor and I’m glad to meet you!

This is a very cool home made music clip for this amazing psychedelic song by the Beatles. The music is very trippy while the lyrics are some of the deepest I’ve known.

There is nothing like a bored bunch of teenagers to make for an exciting video clip. However it is open to decide if this particular one is subversive, or to be more exact – what it subverts: mainstream culture, or psychedelic culture. This clip mixes psychedelic imagery from suburbia with long scenes of eating a burger in McDonalds. It is hard to realize what its supposed to mean or of it even is supposed to mean something, but it smells like teen spirit, and I like it!

So enjoy!

Die Reise ins Glück by Wenzel Storch

12 Jun

Die Reise ins Glück (2004) – that is the german original title of “A Journey Into Bliss”, – is a german underground movie by Wenzel Storch. When the credits were running I turned around in the cinema because I wanted to see if there were others who had witnessed this madness. This is a work of love and anarchic spirit. It’s kitsch and bad taste on lsd. It’s the end of psychoanalysis and most other ways of making sense. It’s something that should not even exist, something that needs you to confirm it’s very own way of resistance.

Thanks to Arjan for reminding me of it.

LiquiDance

Dance is one of the most beautiful ways of self expression. David Bernal takes dance into the realm of liquid, at times defying the laws of physics.

I just remembered this video and had to add it too…
