A futuristic vision of a world after a catastrophic
disaster. In this dark parable mutated limbs are looking for
cooperation, but due to miscommunication this mission is doomed to fail.
The storyline of The Origin of Creatures is based on one of the most
well-known tales about collaboration, the Tower of Babel. This tale is
transformed and twisted and is set in an imaginary future, after the
world is hit by a catastrophe. Among the remains of a devastated city
lives that what is left of humanity. Human bodies are divided into
separated parts of the body and are fused to special beings. Together,
these creatures form a colony, they can only survive when collaborating.
In the rubble of destroyed buildings they are trying to build a nest as
large and as high as possible, so that the colony’s queen gets enough
sunlight to reproduce, but due to miscommunication this mission is
doomed to fail.
