I wonder what this box contains?
The Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel believed that memory was coherence to our reasoning, feelings and action. Without it, he said, we were nothing. In 1929, Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali both produced the film Un chien andalou sparking the very notion of voyeurism, delusion and shock.
Un chien andalou is a journey into fetishism from a hallucinated-dream state brought to life by the moving picture, and by Salvador Dali's subconsciousness. His inner urge to express these layering motifs are reconstructed by Luis Buñuel's beautifully orchestrated cinema photography particularly with his play on shadows. The sixteen minute silent film is considered a cinematic masterpiece with its surreal imagery capped with a sadistic deviancy. Un chien andalou shows the power of thought and the possibility of truly duplicating the lines between reality verses falsehood, and toying with the desires of, What if.

Pertaining to the object of painting, photography and film, these art forms survive in the human consciousness because of its seductiveness to replicate a memory closes to reality. Film, for an example can draw in the viewer into a place where his emotions can be triggered by a similar experience. Only the sensory of touch is missing.
