What is ANTS in my scanner > a five years time-lapse! about?
This short film is an exploration of the aesthetic of life and degradation.

The resulting clip is a close-up examination of how these tiny beings live in this unique ant farm. I observed how decay and corrosion slowly but surely invaded the internal organs of the scanner. Nature gradually takes hold of this completely synthetic environment.
