Prie Dieu

In extreme macro close-up, praying mantises, stick insects and other bugs move as if tethered by delicate threads to an unseen divine power, like puppets of a higher will.

Insects strung like puppets to the heavens, filmed in macro and set to Amon Tobin and Allegri: strange, beautiful and award-winning.

“Prie Dieu” explores a world where insects are connected to a divine power by delicate threads. No insects were hurt during the shooting, all threads were done during post-production.
