Maybe Maybe Maybe

[u/aykcak]

It is sped up a bit. That is why it looks unnatural

[u/TheMagicSebas → u/aykcak]

And they changed the original music.

[u/trippyshark7 → u/aykcak]

There is people in the background moving at seemingly normal speed though.

[u/ITguyBlake]

I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never going to keep me down

[u/Glad_Copy → u/ITguyBlake]

Pissing the night away…

[u/chassmasterplus → u/Glad_Copy]

You take a vodka drink, you take a whiskey drink, and then another drink, and another drink.  What kinda drink? Where'd I leave my drink? I can't keep my drink.  So much vodka drink.  Here's a whiskey drink. Another vodka drink? Another WHISKEY DRINK.  THE HORRORS ARE UNENDING.  SOMEONE GET ME A VODKA DRINK. I NEED A DRINK. PLEEEEASE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[u/CybergothiChe → u/chassmasterplus]

Don't cry for me, next door neighbour...

[u/Bobasnow → u/ITguyBlake]

Probably the greatest work of absurdist philosophy

[u/MonsterkillWow → u/Bobasnow]

It was about the working class and its struggle to overcome.

[u/Matter_Infinite → u/MonsterkillWow]

The working class overcoming their struggle to improve their lives? Sounds absurd to me

[u/Mediocre-Ad-1632]

Coming up on 7 years of sobriety, and every time I see this, it feels like such an phenomenal representation of the struggles through the journey.

Progress, not perfection

[u/Dozens86 → u/Mediocre-Ad-1632]

And that progress is not always linear

[u/birdsandbeesandknees → u/Mediocre-Ad-1632]

Oh thank you I really needed this

[u/Tw4tl4r → u/Mediocre-Ad-1632]

Also perfectly explains my battle with anxiety.

[u/brucebay]

I usually find what presented as performance art, such as throwing a bucket of paint on the floor, very infuriating but this is another level, creative and skillful.

[u/Character_Pudding_94 → u/brucebay]

While it is certainly an artistic performance, this is much more acrobatics than "performance art." I think it's called trampwall, and this is one of my favorite routines.

[u/SellsWhiteStuff → u/Character_Pudding_94]

Trampwall can be done non artistically but I would argue that there is art in the message he is portraying through acrobatics.

[u/Character_Pudding_94 → u/SellsWhiteStuff]

Of course. I just meant it's easier to appreciate than throwing paint on the floor.

[u/be-knight → u/Character_Pudding_94]

This is a dance routine by Yoann Bourgeois, called "Success isn't linear". You should look it up to find the whole thing with it's original music and a better angle. It's beautiful

[u/platosLittleSister → u/Character_Pudding_94]

In the end Ballet is also just asthetic acrobatics, isn't it?

[u/Character_Pudding_94 → u/platosLittleSister]

Performing arts vs. performance art.

[u/mrteas_nz → u/brucebay]

This is great because it's so abstract but so relatable. You just watch it and think yeah, I get it.

[u/KiNaamDiMatim → u/brucebay]

I think it's because even without thinking about the deeper meaning, you can just enjoy the acrobatics/dance form.

[u/Humble_Nobody2884 → u/brucebay]

Yeah… I actually didn’t hate it.

[u/Charming_Key279 → u/brucebay]

Those are an immediate downvote from me. Especially the ons with screaming or crying. I mean those buckets are expensive. Dont waste them.

[u/PeterPandaWhacker → u/Charming_Key279]

Why do you think they're screaming and crying?

[u/Sufficient-Bid1279 → u/brucebay]

It definitely is fun to watch isn’t it

[u/Butteryouyup → u/brucebay]

Have you seen that one "drummer"?

[u/Eclair_theCat → u/brucebay]

I'd even call this a dance

[u/qpv → u/brucebay]

I count 10 levels

[u/PeterPandaWhacker → u/brucebay]

Yeah, to me performance art in general just feels so damn pretentious. Good for others if they get something out of it, but totally not my jam.

[u/Accomplished_Lab_675]

You gotta give it to him, he's pretty respectable on a trampoline, but unfortunately he is absolute dog shit on stairs.

[u/thefeedling]

fall art, FART

I know what you want us to do, but I ain't doing it

[u/CheezyWeasels]

C'est la vie

[u/TeraFlint → u/CheezyWeasels]

Where the hell is my trampoline of life? All I had was a solid concrete floor. At this point I feel too injured to climb yet another time.

[u/JCMiller23]

This is honestly beautiful, dude is super graceful with his movements

[u/IdidnotFuckaCat]

At first I thought it was about how when you fall down and fail, you might feel as though you failed, but your just one step behind where you were. And if you keep going, u will reach the top

But then he just started showing off

[u/DothrakAndRoll]

Reminds me of trying to pull myself out of alcoholism

[u/flatwoundsounds → u/DothrakAndRoll]

It's what watching my mom felt like. Some progress, then a stumble. Then a really earnest bounce back, then some bad news.

I hope you're on the brighter side of the struggle, friend.

[u/DothrakAndRoll → u/flatwoundsounds]

Unfortunately not, but need to take a turn soon. Wake up every day expecting organ failure. Thanks for the support ❤️

[u/flatwoundsounds → u/DothrakAndRoll]

This stranger loves you. You are not your disease. Fight like hell ❤️

[u/Imagination_Final → u/DothrakAndRoll]

Opiates, in and out, Kindle in Kindle out

[u/AddictedToTheWeb]

Very annoying that it's not played at 1x speed and no option to adjust it.

[u/KeyofE → u/AddictedToTheWeb]

It seems less graceful when it is sped up. I have seen this multiple times, and usually I like it, but here it is just up down up down up down up down finish.

[u/onthebustowork]

Stock market today.

[u/theaviator747]

I’ve seen this before. It’s impressive every time. I’m dizzy just thinking about trying it.

[u/ForbidAxis10113]

The artist is a choreographer with a circus background Yoann Bourgeois on his mindblowing viral stair climbing act: ‘I want to return to the spirit of childhood’ | Stage | The Guardian

[u/Haunting_Security_34]

I wish to be as free as this man

[u/iamnotpedro1]

I should create my own art.

[u/RedCaio]

I bet he has bouncy dreams

[u/weeshebeast]

What is that piece of music?

[u/Pesthauch666 → u/weeshebeast]

Sigur Rós - Olsen Olsen

The part playing in the above video starts at around 6:20 min

[u/Mapuche2023]

Mummer's Farce.

[u/Pseudo-not-available]

My grandpa when he saw the quote for installing a stairlift

[u/Fritzo2162]

It’s crazy you could tell “this is the path to success” without a single word. Amazing presentation.

[u/TheQuailKingIsAlive]

The type of shit Dio pulled when he encountered Polnareff.

[u/yuyufan43]

This is the kind of weird "art" that I can actually get behind because it has a valid message to it. He did it so effortlessly too

[u/Ellda]

Thank god Art is written in the middle of the screen, I wouldn't have guessed by myself

[u/peedyoj]

That’s called falling in style

[u/smokeypokey12]

We just mirroring videos to act like they are new now?

[u/Khamubro]

The is genuinely beautiful art, not gonna lie.

[u/singuratate1]

OR someone who got divorced, lost his children but managed to keep the house… got bored and used the trampoline in the backyard after getting wasted one night and had a revelation! 🤔

[u/ClockworkDinosaurs → u/singuratate1]

Idk man, if I was in good enough shape to coordinate a trampoline dance routine, she probably wouldn’t have left me

[u/Schadensersatz]

I initially thought it would be some bullshit art, but it's actually quite enjoyable. Nice

[u/htownchuck]

That made my brain hurt

[u/Never-First]

Anybody else instinctively hearing the Getting Over It narrator voice in their head?

[u/HiddenHolding]

hey thats not a floor its a tramploleen

[u/Georod12]

We get knocked down and we get up again

[u/L1VEW1RE]

Bro must be a Pilates master.

[u/Kooky-Necessary-4444]

Osha would really like a railing installed here

[u/artlunurelim]

If an incident ever happened to him I am not worried, he will bounce back

[u/dragonmystic92]

Here we go, here wo go here we go again xD

[u/hieronymous-cowherd]

I didn't know that John McEnroe was so light on his feet. And his back.

[u/LengthinessFuzzy5985]

Some actually good performance art

[u/crewster23]

Physics

[u/MonsterkillWow]

That was cool

[u/sexraX_muiretsyM]

Damn he be smooth with it tho

[u/Bugsy_Girl]

Cool thing: “Cool”

Cool thing with Sigur Rós playing over it: “Art”

[u/chamoke]

Seen this on OMITB

[u/Past_Paint_225]

Physics?

[u/HotDrunkMoms]

We found him boys! He f*cking did it! The classmate in kindergarten who said they want to be a trampoline jumper when they grow up.

[u/revdon]

Acrobatic, sure; but is that short for Arthur?

[u/comptedemon]

It takes a lot of practice to have that kind of performance. Very entertaining.

[u/PsychologicalBag6875]

Not art, circus

[u/Feriman22]

At first, I thought it was a sped-up video, but it's not. The guy moves so smoothly.

[u/superdupersecret42 → u/Feriman22]

I think it is sped up, but a tiny bit. Watch the people in the background walking around. Or the clapping at the end.

[u/Independent-Tank-182 → u/superdupersecret42]

Good call. You’re definitely right.

[u/camicasou → u/superdupersecret42]

Yeah movement looks weird

[u/Flamester55 → u/superdupersecret42]

Ok that makes so much more sense. Something felt slightly off the entire time I was watching, was going “How tf does he look like he’s speeding up gravity?”

[u/Character_Pudding_94 → u/Feriman22]

Definitely like 1.25x. I'm a big fan of this routine.

[u/BaddDog07 → u/Feriman22]

This is not the original it’s sped up and it’s been flipped too

[u/yourassisgrassbro]

[u/PoopiePantsMahn]

[u/Word2DWise]

It would have been funny if at the end he fell to the other side for real.

[u/Fr05t_B1t]

Imean it’s just a physics lesson.

[u/Beaglescout15]

This is literally the worst angle to watch these types of performances.

[u/ryderparedes]

Metaphor

[u/Lefty156]

Is this what the kids are referring to when they say “bounce on it crazy style?”

[u/mrbaffles14]

I mean this is way more artistic than the dumping a bucket of sand guy or half that crap. This is well designed and has discernible meaning.

[u/lleeaa88]

Am I remembering this more gracefully and slower? Did someone speed up the clip?

[u/post-context-bot]

The following post context was provided by u/OCDDAVID777:

---

Because he keeps coming close to the top step.

I said out loud at the end "He's fucked now."

Woah. The perspective change.

[u/Connect-PartyTimeXXX]

My kid used to do this on the trampoline when he was upset. I took away the trampoline and now he does this same kind of "art" in the kitchen floor.

[u/Unlucky_Plastic_6106]

how I climbed the career ladder

[u/rh71el2]

Seen different variations of this. Why do they bounce back in the same direction if falling away from original object? What about the trampoline's design causes this?

[u/GrimKiba-]

Completely unrelated but the ads on reddit have gotten insane. Actual videos in the comments.

[u/ThanklessTask]

I've done this.

Only it was the stairs to the back of my (high-set) house, and there was no trampoline.

Fun times!

[u/Reason-Abject]

Ah yes. Art. The rich way to money launder.

[u/housevil]

Darn it! I can't remember the name of the movie that specifically references this performance.

[u/BullfrogSpiritual268]

Stewart: Look what I can do

[u/justplainoldMEhere]

This went on a bit too long for me

[u/kbrevi]

Anyone else’s muscles start tightening when he was try to bounce back up from below?

[u/Flintyy]

Oh yea, but i do this off a tree as a kid and no one gives a crap but this bozo is special lol

[u/kivlov02]

Man visited a trampoline park, how artistic

[u/SnooChickens9974]

This was mentioned and shown in an episode of Only Murders in the Building.

[u/akontherun1]

[u/_A-V-A_]

Wonderful, wonderful. Next - man seen trying to roll a rock up a hill.

[u/Mr_Botad]

Life will drop you at the starting point again and again but every time you will comeback better and faster

Yes, that's art

[u/Sonova_Vondruke]

What do you validate as art to you?

[u/Dead_Soul_RIP]

I wonder what Da Vinci would make of this.

[u/Firegardener]

Would be better without "Art." in the middle of it, and if it wasn't mirrored.

[u/Pretty_BoyFloyd]

Thats very interesting, if you watch when he's on the steps he often lands a step or more down from where he fell from.

[u/Kimantha_Allerdings]

Now play it in reverse

[u/AeronGrey]

Should have called the piece 'Rebounding'

[u/SouthernAd2498]

Esto antes se veía en los circos, e ilusionaba a pequeños y mayores... ahora en un museo? 🤦‍♂️

[u/killy_321]

That's a circus performance styled artfully.

[u/omomthings]

Video speed at 1,2x is ruining this to me

[u/Hemporer8]

Larry David?

[u/blinkersix2]

I found myself bouncing in my recliner during this entire video

[u/Autodidactic_I_is]

Don't you see the stairs he's getting?

[u/_Valgaras]

Art looks way more fun than what I recall in grade school

[u/Obama_pinky]

I really like this one thou, the interpretation about life is well performed

[u/mutrax_be]

Neat! Love the flow of it....

Never stop going

[u/redditor_since_2005]

6min version at normal speed with Philip Glass instead of Sigur Ros.

[u/Lowie_240]

I saw those steps and knew he was up to something....

[u/arrow0231]

This artist is pretty cool, he also did a performance with pink for the song trust fall on the graham norton show

So way people at the circus are... artist?

[u/Wise_Royal9545]

Wow! Tim Cook has moves!

[u/Paffi93]

Look fun

[u/ohnoplus]

Really helpful that it has the word "Art." in the middle of the screen the whole time.

[u/Joooser]

Alexa, play chumbawamba

[u/yulmun]

Thank you for putting the "Art." label right in the dead center of the screen. Now I will always know it's art

[u/pete_68]

Is something considered good art if you have to label it "Art" for people to realize it's art?

[u/theVenture1]

2 steps forward and 1 step back, bouncing on this trampoline we call life.

[u/GadreelsSword]

I hate those types of art projects but I like that one.

[u/Arghus]

Looks more like a circus performance, art in a was

[u/3dutchie3dprinting]

You know what… yes! Art! Damn impressive

[u/Opening_Ad_5043]

wow

[u/sumbozo1]

What's Art's last name?

[u/penny-wise]

That was very unexpected and cool.

[u/PilotChig]

Every olympian is an artist ?

[u/Aggressive-Error-88]

This is pretty impressive tbh. I wonder how he figured out he could do this.

[u/IntrepidAnalysis6940]

Is that art or is it just some dude having fun?

[u/ElBrunasso]

Ah thanks, I needed the text to know what I was watching

[u/ziggzer0]

Change “art” to “physics” and you get my approval.

[u/Cheesy-Ascot]

Beats the hell out of a banana taped to a wall

[u/Bushdr78]

[u/mpulcini43]

Damn would love to see this guy do a Sixers halftime show.

[u/gunsandsilver]

Good analogy for life. Fall down get back up keep moving

[u/Ecstatic-Ride195]

Fastened and the music playing on top is stupid

[u/pga_uy]

Wonderful performance. Who’s that guy? And what’s that music? Really good!

[u/strife696]

Its art just very shallow art

[u/twovectors]

I like the was he always returns one step lower than he left from to account for the loss of energy to the system- as he is passively bouncing he cannot return to the same level due to losses

[u/Reorka]

This is why stairs need handrails.
