Souvenir de Chine by Körner Union
December 11, 2008 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: VideoSorry to post two videos in a row, a personal pet peeve, but this video is so weird and wonderful I have to. It was created by the Swiss group Körner Union, and features a ton of mirrors and lots of fuzzy and feathered little friends. The idea is simple, set up two mirros at an angle, throw a bunch of animals in it, tape it from above so it looks like a kaelidescope, and voila! Instant awesome art.
My favorite part comes in around the 2 minute mark when they throw in the parakeets, which in turn makes the mice scramble like crazy. A very random video, but beautiful and creative nonetheless.

Since one of the guys from körner union plays in Larytta. Have Fun
Really Impressive.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if they threw a “Kitsune Noir” in there. :)
best thing i’ve seen in 2008. awesome.
i watched this stoned.
very interesting
senseless bastards…
animals & birds don´t deserve that
should be done with humans like all of you. stoned & with wet floor
by the way i love your blog
but not this crap
@schoked: That’s stupid. Does it look like any of them were hurt? No. The birds were thrown in the air 6 feet at most, they have wings, they weren’t being mistreated.
I work for a company that works to help and protect animals. If I thought that this was in any way cruel I would never have posted this.
I would be more then happy to be thrown 6 feet in the air, and I don’t know where you’re getting this wet floor shit, but you gotta get over it.
Glad you like the blog.
Incredible idea & execution! Very thought provoking about how a simple series of events can reveal a pattern when observed from multiple vantage points. Great Find!
