Lernert & Sander



When I was working at Pour La Victoire Studio as a shoe designer, I was in charge of research for the collections.  While sieving through the amounts of images, videos and files of fashion I came across this video created by the artists Lernert & Sander from Amsterdam.

This video is undoubtably beautiful.  The use of one colour juxtaposes the chocolate rabbit in the happiest of manner but yet the eerie soundtrack demands the voyeur to take the images seriously.  The video is, dare I say, a trip around human emotion.  The saturated candy colours of youth makes one smile at the thought of chocolate but then as the little bunny melts in the most macabre manner, a sense of sadness creeps in.

Lernert & Sander are ridiculously talented in what they do.  See Vimeo for all their other great visual inventions.
