Finding your next obsession

Inspired by the last essay Charles Darwin wrote on the action of worms, Anna Marziano crafted a film where the cultural and political action is placed in continuity with the work of earthworms, digesting and feeding the soil microscopically day after day. The film intertwines direct observation, video projections and the decay of some film negatives buried in the ground in the attempt to keep visual traces of the life of micro-organisms.
