This style of looping animation reminds me strongly of a short video I saw many years ago. It’s set to a song and features similar animated looping and morphing characters representing different stages of life, growing up, falling in love, etc. Black, white, yellows and reds. I can’t seem to find it now but I believe it had a creator with a german-sounding name. I may be hallucinating the memory, but I think the animation was titled “Love and Loss”, though I don’t see it anywhere online. Anyone know the one?

The only thing I know that is similar to this doesn't quite fit your description.

The morphing does look similar. It had short looping animations that start childish and cartoony, then would slowly progress and become more scary and adult themed, representing the journey from birth to adulthood.

Hmm, sorry these are all I know. Maybe try searching for "psychedelic music video". If you're lucky you might find it this way.

Sur- [over-] realism

A place for surrealist and abstract content. Art, memes, data-moshing, optical illusions, liminal spaces, weirdly comfy stuff and anything else you think at least loosely fits this description goes.

Appreciation of art is always subjective. Your opinion is just as valid as the one of a professional critic. Remember, we are here to have fun and be entertained. Don't let anyone talk you out of your enjoyment for anything.

I'd like the atmosphere to be light-hearted and relaxed.

Flashing / strobing lights warning: Not recommended for people with photosensitive epilepsy.

Rules

✏️ If you know the artist, please credit them (memes are fine without it, as it can be difficult to find OOP)

🔞 Tag NSFW (no porn, please. Non-sexual nudity is fine)

🫂 Be respectful of others. It sounds so obvious, but remember you are conversing with another human being

📢 Self promotion is not only allowed, but encouraged. I would love to see your original content

🗳️ No politics (light-hearted jokes are fine)

👍 When in doubt, just post. Unless you are deliberately trying, I most likely won't remove your post
