Continuing to blog things other than economics and politics, we offer this strangely compelling animation by Tomasz Baginski. This Wiki summary kind of explains it... sort of...
Fallen Art presents the story of General A, a self-proclaimed artist. His art, however, consists of a deranged method of stop motion photography, where the individual frames of the movie are created by photographs made by Dr. Johann Friedrich, depicting the bodies of dead soldiers, pushed down by Sergeant Al from a giant springboard onto a slab of concrete.
