A Bug's Afterlife (2019)

2-channel HD-video, 3D-animation and audio installation.

        

        

The setup of A Bug’s Afterlife (2019) is simply a juxtaposition of two video sequences, where one is a video recording and the other one a 3D-animation. In the first video unfolds an idea of the physical world, where a beetle and a spider play out their predestined roles as prey and predator.

In the second video two virtually amplified versions of the same insects appear, where their roles are being re-scripted and through a bond of friendship they are now able to help each other reach a mutual transcendence into the afterlife.
