I also fail to find the meaning of this bit, though I enjoyed it much more than the “Walking” one
One message to consider and think about from this video is how, in pursue of freedom we can fail to take notice and make ourselves more vulnerable to other threats.
The use of cigarettes, part of a soda can, and other trash-like silhouette leads me to think it may be trying to say something about out freedom regarding consumerism and how in the pursue of the freedom to use whatever we want and as much as we want, and waste however much we want, we fail to recognize the fatal threat to which we are exposing ourselves.
But that seems a bit of a long stretch to me.
I like it though, wish it was longer maybe, had some more to it, be more explicative.
If I was going to put the meaning of this video into words, KIK’s first sentence would pretty much sum it up, but I don’t think words can do justice to it If words were enough, there’d be no art.

i don’t think art always needs to have meaning; every nuance does need an explanation or reason for existance.
sometimes things just look good!

true observation, yet i find most art has a meaning behind it, at least to the artist, and that is what I enjoy about art.
Many times whether I like it or not, I’ll still enjoy the story behind it so that’s what I look for.
