The surrealism wave has always been present in the work of this Czech artist. His compositions are versatile and wide, but always characterized by a big surrealism touch. He is basically the creator of some great animated films (in all of those has used the stop-motion and fast-motion techniques), but apart from that, he has worked on some graphic design projects, sculptures, and poems.
Are you able to mix fun and anguish? Well, Jan will make it for you… Watching one of his films or creations leads you to that strange feeling.
Food has always been one of his favourite subjects, so I leave you with one of his short films called “Food”, which describes the human life trough breakfast, lunch and dinner. After watching this short film some questions arose in my head: Are we what we eat? Do we have alienated lives? Alienated jobs? Are we alienated even when we eat?
The great Jan Svankmajer makes us wonder about these things and many more. In only 15 minutes you will discover it by watching this short film.
As always judge for yourself and enjoy!
