The Little Boat | Ziad Antar
Taking one of the world’s most popular children’s songs as a sample, this video slowly reveals the latent violence embedded in the culture addressed to kids. This is a single video take, similar to a photograph, in which a tiny instrument is left to self-unwind with so much tenderness while the song’s story of almost carnivorous nature is told.
