The Wonderful World of Ants




"The Wonderful World of Ants" was shot with a high-8 camera and edited digitally. For the duration of two days, I filmed ants in my studio as they made their way across an invisible path, leading from the window sill, up the wall, and into the ceiling. I added pencil marks to trace their steps, and stepped back to see how closely they would follow the lines.

During the four hours of tape, new routes were developed, old routes erased, objects moved, and detours suggested. What unfolds visually is a cross between scientific analysis and adventurous imagining.

Dimensions: variable
