Those who do not want to imitate anything, 

produce nothing.

Pilobolus

"Die Andalusische Hand"

This piece was most likely inspired by the 1929 surrealistic film collaboration between Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí called An Andalusian Dog (Un Chien Andalou). Warning: the Buñuel/Dalí film is a bit graphic and not for children.
