Un Chien Andalou(An Andalusian Dog)
Luis Bunuel, and Salvador Dali's production was a very bizarre film. It is a short film, about 16 minutes. Basically all images do not make sense to me, it does not have a plot. It goes from a place in time to the other without explaining what happened. I believe that the producers did not want to make sense of anything, I also saw that all the movie was full of symbolisms. This film made me think a lot, going from different images trying to put it all together, but I realized that not everything has to mean or transmit a normal message for us to appreciate it.
L.H.O.O.Q. Object Trouve
This postcard of the Mona Lisa, changed by Marcel Duchamp was a clear example of the Object Trouve, which means to decontextualize something that has been already prepared or made. This was a postcard which held the great Mona Lisa one of the paintings that changed art history, changed by Duchamp to a new piece of art. L.H.O.O.Q( Elle ache au cul) meaning her ass is on fire was a new element to the new Art piece.
