Braving climate ravaged landscapes, will the bee find the pollen she seeks? In this captivating mixed media short film, an animated bee's search for pollen becomes a harrowing journey through climate devastated landscapes. The bee combs a field that has been in a drought, then she flies through a polluted cityscape and on to an overflowing dump, where she finally finds a lone flower pushing its way through the rubbish. After collecting its pollen, the bee makes her way home, through a torrential downpour and an old growth logging site, only to discover the forest and her hive engulfed in wildfire. Each of these settings was built from recycled materials, trash, found objects, and a couple stolen…er, borrowed toys (sorry Franklin). This free installation of BEE will play on a loop from May 28 to 31, alongside displays of the sets for a closer look and even (gentle) touch. unladylike co.
