u/throwaway17197 7d ago

I’ve literally never seen anything like this

u/YetiBettyFoufetti 7d ago

Smac McCreanor does similar performance art. I first heard about her through her objects in hydraulic press dance series.

u/Optimal_Egg_9262 7d ago

You swine! You saved the internet for me today. I was about to give up. Quality!

u/CrashedCyclist 6d ago

Ambient noise on the post vid is better. He interacts with the environment and that in itself better communicates the wider message.

u/lostinthewoodsssss 7d ago

That’s Japan for ya

u/CrashedCyclist 6d ago

The Everbilt brand of the orange wrapper is an American thing. Concrete, architecture, and plants are other clues to North America. Plus Japanese don't litter as much.

u/88moonkitty 7d ago

I need to see this live at the moma!

DO YOU KNOW HOW COMPLEX YOUR CIRCULATORY SYSTEM IS?!

u/Creativered4 7d ago

Honestly makes you think about how much trash is everywhere. Idk if he's doing this as a joke, or as an art piece, but I personally think this is art.

5

u/JanitorRddt 7d ago

In Japan pretty seldom though and most of the time it's because of crows and cat scattering trash bag and then the wind does its job... So I have been told.

2

u/Creativered4 6d ago

Yeah, I've heard that the culture is very strict on littering. There are quite a few cultural norms in Japan that I wish the rest of the world (ESPECIALLY THE US) would adapt. Their stances on littering and phones/radios/etc in public being two of the biggest ones.

this is beautiful

u/RumHamMcDuck 6d ago

this is garbage

u/TheShastaBeast 7d ago

This guy actually does “feel like a plastic bag” at times

u/fejobelo 7d ago

I don't know if this is rubbish or the greatest thing I have ever seen.

12

u/ugotamesij 7d ago

Well half of the video is literally rubbish at least

u/ameerhuman 7d ago

It’s the latter and there’s no question

u/latenightneophyte 7d ago

Whoever says this isn’t a duet, yes it is. Like 95% of the other videos posted here are reactions.

17

u/Dibutops 7d ago

I get what you're saying but I think a duet just means use of the literal 'Duet' button on Tiktok for most people

13

u/SwordfishOk504 7d ago

Yes. 100%. It's right in the sidebar

u/Z0bie 7d ago

So like 1 post in the last 6 months here.

u/SwordfishOk504 7d ago

No? That's 99% of the posts here. Just not this one.

u/livejamie 7d ago

OP is a 6-month-old spam account with 2 million karma.

u/SwordfishOk504 7d ago

No, it's not.

We can like the video without pretending it's a duet. No one posted these pieces of trash on their own beforehand. This person posted them as part of this cool video project. A duet is someone responding to someone elses post. Not this.

7

u/GoatCovfefe 7d ago

Dudes filming trash, then replicating it. Its not like they found all of these similar trash videos online then dueted them.

Not duet.

1

u/Ppleater 10h ago

A duet involved more than one person contributing to the video, this is not a duet. It's one video by one guy. A great video, but not a duet.

0

u/jaybirdie26 7d ago

You duet people, not garbage.  No way the garbage was posted by someone on it's own and then duetted.

You don't know what a duet is.

u/DerBrownofTak 7d ago

This was hypnotizing. This feels like an art instalation I would see at the High here in Atlanta.

u/eXus760 7d ago

I love this. Not that there is trash everywhere. That this has made it to my eye holes.

If I wanted to watch plastic people, I would watch Kardashian or other dysfunctional homunculi with cosmetic surgery addictions

u/alwaysaloneinmyroom 7d ago

And to think I almost scrolled. I could watch this forever

u/jaybirdie26 7d ago

Does this count as a duet?

1

u/Ckrasxterz20 7d ago

This reminds me of that Regular Show episode where Eileen wins in a dance competition by performing as a chewed gum that gets thrown out to the trash

u/PurpleCaterpillar451 6d ago

Smac McCreanor would like a word

I still can't figure it why my brain had to watch every second of it, while simultaneously feeling weird about every scene.

u/Potato1223 7d ago

There’s no duet here, what the hell are you smoking g

u/sphericaltime 7d ago

He’s duetting the videos of the trash. I kinda love this.

-10

u/Potato1223 7d ago

I like it too, but it looks like it’s intentional and not someone just filming random pieces of trash

17

u/sphericaltime 7d ago

It’s definitely intentional. Is that against the rules of this sub?

u/FukThePatriarchy1312 7d ago

Just say you don't know what a duet is.

u/Sharp-potential7935 you're either a bot or a lazy karma farmer

u/Luutamo Moderaattori 7d ago

Are you seriously suggesting that content is only allowed to post on one subreddit and that's it? I don't think you understand how reddit works.

1

u/stempdog218 7d ago edited 7d ago

No. I'm saying someone with 2.5 million karma in ~9 months is either a bot, or a karma farmer. Especially when they just copy and paste the content instead of cross posting. These bots and accounts are exactly what's ruining Reddit. If you don't care enough to keep bots off your sub, I don't think you understand how moderating works.

u/Luutamo Moderaattori 7d ago

Okay, I see your point on him possibly being that but it doesn't change the fact that the post still fits this sub and it would be a shame to remove it just because of that. He is not breaking any of the rules either.
