Ants on a Log

A look at the popular children’s novelty snack (celery, Cheeze Whiz, raisins) as it is swarmed by real ants on an actual log. The piece aims to stimulate discourse on human objectification of nature and ecological hierarchy. Though humans may be able to create triumphant scientific accomplishments like Cheez Whiz, the ants’ ability to organize and colonize will long out live that of the humanity. This film can be screened also be screened as 16mm loop.
