Club Bunker

The second episode of a trilogy, of which Lo schermo dell’arte presented Mad Mieter in 2021, features the same protagonists: mantises and stick insects moving through a perfectly reconstructed miniature architectural environment, blending the architecture of a bunker with that of a club. The 3D macro camera follows one of the insects as it slowly descends the stairs to enter a space defined by neon lights, designer sofas, empty liquor bottles, and a dance floor. Elements of techno culture, some of which seem familiar, blend with the brutalist landscape of the bunker and the almost anthropomorphic appearance of the mantises, creating a disquieting image.
