Juxtaposition in Aisle Five: The Surreal Walmart Pop Art of Dima Dmitriev

In a Walmart, amongst mundane aisles of merchandise, existed an extraordinary piece of art; a vibrant, hyperrealistic creature. The body of a turkey, deer antlers sprouting above, a monkey’s face comically grafted on. Its absurdity radiated humor and fascination, a surreal testament to Dima Dmitriev’s iconic pop art style.

Interesting Facts:

Turkeys have two stomachs: a Glandular stomach where the food is softened and a Muscular stomach or gizzard where the food is ground up.

Deer have a near 360-degree view around them due to the positioning of their eyes, which helps them spot predators more easily.

Some species of Capuchin monkeys use tools. They can crack open nuts using stones, showing a level understanding of causality similar to human toddlers.

Crazy represents various intense behaviors in English, but not all languages have an exact equivalent word, depicting cultural differences in concepts of sanity.

Walmart, the worlds largest company by revenue, sees an average of 37 million people a day, more than the population of Canada, within its stores.
