Michal Kindernay is an artist and performer, working with various media. His audio-video installations connect art, technology and science, reflecting on ecological issues and using various approaches to the natural environment. Michal Kindernay’s residency, with META Cultural foundation, was divided into three stages: documentation, collection and communication with the rural community of Slon, then engagement in the community itself, and finally a more technical stage to complete the work. To create the short film, entitled Insection, he focused his attention on more hidden aspects, creating an unusual connection between communities of insects and the imminent collapse of our contemporary society. The slow movement of certain species of insects becomes a metaphor for chaos, apathy and the decay of society.
