Sugar cast of shortened statue of Michelangelo’s David is being devoured by ant colony. It took them three months to gradually decompose the form. Part of it has been consumed and part preserved in altered form in the colonys nest for future generations. Similar deformation of our
perception is happening through media and the original intention and meaning is being at first simplyfied and than transformed.
