2004 - 5 mins - 35mm - colour

Produced, directed, animated and edited by Paul Bush

Sound design by Andy Cowton

More than three thousand insects appear in this film each for a single frame. As the colours glow and change across their bodies and wings it is as if the genetic programme of millions of years is taking place in a few minutes.

Bush was born in 1956 and studied Fine Art at Central School and Goldsmiths College, London. He taught himself how to make films while a member of the London Film-makers Co-op and Chapter Film Workshop in Cardiff.

While Darwin Sleeps, is from the online Darwin Exhibition. To view the other films in the exhibition, please go to the LUX website.
