Dreaming of...

People with closed eyes

The German newspaper "Die Zeit" has a rubric, called "Ich habe einen Traum" (I have a dream) wherein a celebrity is portrayed with closed eyes and interviewed about their dreams. The linked video shows some of those pictures underlayed with bass music by Akki Schulz.

So, sarcasm and hate for this then, huh?

I liked how different people look with eyes closed, celebrities or not.

I clicked on the link before reading anything. I could make out "I have a" fine but I didn't know Traum. After watching the video for a little bit, I finally decided it was "I have a headache." Now I feel like a dummkopf.

At first I thought it was lame but actually, it's lovely. Thanks. The music is something else, huh?

Glow Bucket. I actually liked the premise, just would have rather have seen the photos one at a time. Mostly so I could have navigated to the celebrities I like, and stayed away from the like of Woody Allan. If there was such a way, I guess I could see it.
