Honeybee, your dance partner is death
This film depicts the life of a honeybee and her final dance with untimely death in an experimental waltz sprinkled with documentary and found footage. It is Inspired by the German post-World War I propaganda posters, which featured a line from Paul Zech’s poem, “Berlin, halt ein.” The poster translates in English as “Berlin, stop! Come to your senses. Your dance partner is death,” and includes an illustration by Louis Raemaekers of an upper-class woman dancing the tango with a skeleton. The posters spoke of the disparity in Berlin between the elite class, who entertained themselves with dancing and music while the other half of the population was starving. In the same way, I believe, many members of present society live without regard for the long-term consequences of their actions while ignoring the plight of honeybees, who, through pollination, provide us with flowers and food.
The piece was created after receiving an invitation to submit a piece to the 2019 Farewell to Bees show at Art 111 in Colorado Springs.
