Listening To Your Food: Synesthesia by Terri Timely

Synesthesia is a condition of the mind, where the line between senses becomes blurred. The ability to see sounds, or hear colors, is a common occurrence. To illustrate this in the most bizarre way possible, director Terri Timely created the aptly titled Synesthesia.

The short film begins with a boy who perceives tastes as sounds, literally plugging into and listening to his food — then it just spirals out of control from there. Enjoy.
