Oikistika follows a swarm of Cubide Amellare through an urban space, bringing the creatures’ forms into relation with the structures around them. Movement and collective organisation become the subjects of the audiovisual record.
In Gyonata Bonvicini’s critical text, the creatures’ journey is considered through settlement, geometry and movement between different spatial dimensions.
