Swarm

Swarm is a short video poem on war and decease. In the book of life and death what are the premises for young men to enter into military endeavors? Inspired by a youtube video in which volunteers from Ural performed the dance of death, Swarm captures the rhythmic essence of military rituals, imbued with a palpable sense of tension and dread. Disturbing increasing sound as of a bee bevy is the focal point of the narrative reinforced by mundane, even dull close ups of young men that culminate in moving macabre abyss.
