Rat and Border Dog
Rannikko Vesa-Pekka
"Rat and Border Dog" is a poetic animation fable about the insignificance of the human-built border zone for nature. The work is a hand-drawn sketch-like animation, where animals, plants and poems are drawn into the picture and build a collage of parallel events. Animation is a network where the human logic takes a back seat.
