THE RAT RACE - In Situ Animation Project

THE RAT RACE
By Adeyemi Adegbesan and Michael Brown

Bricks and Cinder Block come alive down at Toronto's Leslie Spit in this 1-minute silent animation by Adeyemi Adegbesan and Michael Brown. This discarded material of demolished Toronto buildings takes on a range of personalities. Scurrying out from behind big boulders and clambering up and over slabs of cement sub-flooring, the material orders itself and encounters a little magic, looking east out over Lake Ontario.

Created as part of the In Situ: Site-specific Explorations project commissioned by The Toronto Animated Image Society in conjunction with Art for Commuters and Onestop Media Group. To see all the films in the commission, watch http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D820720114DA2C47

This program was created with financial assistance from the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council.
