Den Offentlige Rost (The Public Voice, 1988) Salvador Dali Amazing Morphing Experience

[VerninTheRat]

It brings me infinite joy to discover that Applestein has provided us with the artist's name. This truly is a gem in the internet. And unfortunately, not many people know that.

[stadtrade102]

i love dali but this is great never saw it before now,makes me go some were so thanks for the thoughts.

[Pobotrol]

Thank you so much, I've also been looking for it for years. One of the greatest animated films I've ever seen.

You've made me very happy today.

[so1idstee1]

Thank you so much, I, like others it seems, have been searching for this film for years. I saw it on TV in the UK around '89 or 90 and have been wanting to know what it is ever since. I only recently found out who it was by and the real title. Thank you very much, let's hope a better quality copy surfaces one day.

[Saturnome]

Holy cow! Thank you for uploading your copy. I've been looking for this film since ... forever, I think. I can only wish I'll see this in higher definition someday. What a trip.

[herrsatz33]

Hey FairlyHefty, now that you know the real names of the director and the video, maybe you could change it to help people looking for it finding it. It look like it's the only occurence on the web...

Thanx for uploading it, really great!

[FairlyHefty]

@herrsatz33

Good point!

Done...thank you and your welcome...I just wish I could find a better copy :(

[aldon0]

[dgaranin]

A great jouney through surrealistic worlds!

[1PurpleElephant]

That is one intricate painting.

[mbanda07]

THIS IS SO FKN DARK AND INTERESTING

[bassdeathmassacre]

That video took me places I'm not so sure I was ready to go...again.

[brightstarone]

Amazing visual treat.

[lindachispa]

amazing..

My artist friend has identified the animator--Danish artist Lejf Marcussen. The film is called, Den Offentlige Rost (The Public Voice, 1988). As the late historian William Moritz wrote in 1997: “ The Public Voice starts with a painting by Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux and appears to zoom in on a detail, but the zoom continues into imaginary space, finding impossibly complex images hidden inside the smallest spot of each passing figure...." Dali & Marcussen appear in it and it is done by hand

[FairlyHefty]

@applestein1

Have sent you a more detailed PM...I am so happy you have posted. This really made my day...thank you so much Applestein...you are awesome. *does the happy dance* :D

[applestein1]

I was able to also find out that Holga Peterson was responsible for the soundtrack.

[guillermometal]

Thanks for sharing I love his art but it is very tired to watch it. Enjoyable though :D

Dali Rocks!

[HoboSex]

omg this iz lik so fake!

[SeakF2F]

This has to be one of the greatest things Ive ever seen, very strange to say the least, i feel almost honored to have been able to stumble upon this...wow :]

[FairlyHefty]

@SeakF2F

I feel the same...if only someone could shed some light as to who made this. One day I hope we will find the answer. Thanks for your comment :)

[FairlyHefty]

@SeakF2F

I feel the same...thank you for your post

[Vampireq777]

I have no words to say how brilliant it was.

[irrt]

I believe Dali would be pleased

[FairlyHefty]

@irrt me too :D

[nachube]

This is AMAZING!! Does anybody know what's the music??

[FairlyHefty]

@nachube yes... read the comment by 15DavidB....it's very similar...almost the same. My search for a better copy goes on...someone must know and have a better copy...One day!

[mynamemahj]

preparing to watch this tonight on a heavy Dex trip, probably gonna give me a nightmare for a trip lmao thanks for the share though.

[entropious88]

WOW!

Thank you so much for that share!

[FairlyHefty]

@entropious88

your most welcome

[PancakesoftheLove]

The artist of other genres tries to paint within his own genre for the most part, chained by certain methods, practices, traditions of the style he wishes to paint within.

The surrealist is unchained - his canvas is completely blank, free to do whatever he pleases to express, to convey, to give true insight into his mind and into humanity's abilities which are so very seldom tapped.

This video is one hell of a gem - thanks for posting it on YouTube.

[VeryVery1]

dos años después de haberlo visto y todavìa no lo supero

[15davidb]

The music is part of the 3rd movement from Luciano Berio's 'Sinfonia'

[FairlyHefty]

@15davidb

Thanks David. Very cool of you to let me know :)

[AClarke2007]

A lot of work goes in to these; but, you know - "they are dated by the lack of items normally seen at the local Corner Shop". Who`s Eyes these days consume such bland itinery?

[FairlyHefty]

@AClarke2007 Despite your obviously educated handle of the English language...I have no idea what you are talking about. LOL. Can you get me some milk and bread next time you are down there. :D

[ScottOller]

hey FairlyHefty, i absolutely love this video. even though i've seen it many times now, i am still caught by surprise by some of the backwards morphs. i know you still haven't found the source or a better copy, but is there any way you could reupload it at a higher resolution? i figured it was worth asking about.

[FairlyHefty]

@ScottOller Nope...that's the best I could do...The video tape looks even worse...My hunt for a better copy continues!

[miceskin]

also my favorite video on youtube. This is quite the gem.

[OnTheLimits]

OMG !

[DeejayBootsy]

This is incredibly good. I remember watching a similar animation in the early 80s which zoomed into a scene at microscopic level before suddenly going into speedy reverse back out into the universe. This is amazing. Thank you for posting!

[FairlyHefty]

@DeejayBootsy ... You are most welcome...THanks for your comments and subscription :)

[KevinMurphy01]

My favorite video on youtube!

[FairlyHefty]

@KevinMurphy01 .... what a compliment !!! Thank you so much. If only I could find out who did it and obtain a better copy.

[adobolocc]

was the creator's name ever found?? i would love to have an actual hard copy of this in my collection

[FairlyHefty]

@adobolocc ... Nope I'm still searching :(

[existamixa]

a good way to view dali.. it isn't all his art though is it?

[bikewreck85]

i too taped this about 20 years ago on a chanel 4 art program, i'm sure there were credits at the end i will try and dig it out and see.

truely mind warping piece of animation from before the age of computer morphing!!

[lawlers69]

Did you find who did this ?

[FairlyHefty]

@bikewreck85 ... Any luck yet Bikewreck?

[francesthemute31]

wow, just wow

[cameronforbes4]

i feel as if i have been through a nightmare...one which you knew was beautiful, terrifying and disturbing...but you can never remeber in the morning. Brilliant. Amazing. WOW

[DeadJerker]

Now this is something. One of the few YouTube vids you can watch more than once

[VerninTheRat]

Hot DAYAMN! This is pure brilliance to say the least. All I have to say is: Thanks so much for having taken the time to tape this and upload. It pains me to know that the artist/artists remain nameless. For this should be known to the entire art community.

I wish you the best of luck in finding more information by this striking piece of genius!

[lilnastiaaa]

many times

[lawlers69]

To lose this tape would be a crime

I want one

[CurlyHairedFreak21]

i feel as if i have witnessed a murder. in the most beautiful way possible.

[FairlyHefty]

That's an interesting perspective...I would have to agree though:D

[jjaf123]

Wow. Very cool, I'd love to know who made it. No clues from the credits? Packaging? Where did you see first it? What network was it on?

[FairlyHefty]

It was aired in Australia on Channel SBS a program called Eat Carpet...they played some very trippy stuff and short films etc...The credits said something Like "Europe in 3 movements" there was another 2 clips that I have but they were no were near as amazing as this....I may put them up anyway...but they are average....one of them was a European landscape changing through the seasons over the year (which wasnt too bad)....and the third clip was a psychedelic array of images and strange stuff.

[VeryVery1]

que excelencia

[thegreatpoupon]

magnificent give me MORE!

[Desrinify]

I love the music

[joacosera]

Simply Awesome... But the music freaked me out omg xD.

[visuallucefur]

I too had this video, recorded a good twenty years ago, off the tv, but I only had it from the second half, didn't even know there was any more.

It is brilliant - gives your brain some exercise as well as being fun. I too wish I knew the authors.

[perfectusername]

This video is amazing

[iST0N3D]

[FairlyHefty]

Please rate and leave your feedback.

I would really like to find out more about this piece.

[FairlyHefty]

It gets really good from 2:40min on. This is amazingly trippy!
