STUDY WITH FLIES

This video shows up to four digitally generated flies seen flying in a contained space against a discoloured white background. They move closer and further away from the screen, moving somewhat haltingly, and sometimes get just a little bit too close to the camera screen... This image study is a surreal and unorthodox piece of work. This ode to the cat killed by curiosity raises issues ranging from death to dirtiness.
