collage series on social animal architectures
collage series on social animal architectures
A collage series formed by assemblages of animal architecture (termite mounds, anthills, beehives, wasp and bird nests) as example of cohabitation between evolved species. Known mostly as enemies, these can be really excellent collaborators.
By living close to each other, some species are able to benefit from the substances produced by others, and due to their presence are protected from predators.
Social Solitaries had the chance to be presented for the opening of XI Congress of the International Union for Study of Social Insects (Andean-Caribbean Section) in Tarapoto, Peru 2017.
Materials and techniques: | collages printed on cotton paper, entomological box 52x39x6cm, pins |
Used the following species: | Apis mellifera (bee), Apis cerana (bee), Apis dorsata (bee), Atzeca spp. (ant), Polyrhachis spp. (ant), Crematogaster spp. (ant), Nasutitermes spp. (termite), Philetairus socius (bird), Oecophylla smaragdina (ant), Apoica pallens (wasp), Psarocolius spp. “Oropendola” (bird), Chartergellus fulvus (wasp), Polybia scutellaris (wasp), Cacicus spp. (bird) |
