Coexistence
(Donna Conlon) Leaf cutter ants live in the habit of transporting leaves to their nest, to feed their colony and assure its survival. In this video work we get a close-up look at an ant colony carrying political and institutional symbols like those seen in flag parades. The friction between the selforganised ant colony, based on evolutional strategies rather than on law and order, and the political symbols they carry through the woods, brings up ambivalent questions on the issue of power and survival principles.
