Cell Song



As described by Fanfarlo, "Cell Song is a song about the body. Most of us think of ourselves as an individual, a unity. Some sort of lone spirit living inside the head of a soft machine. But really we are the product of billions of little organisms that at one point decided that they were better off together, and so gave up their independence and joined together in a pact for survival. It's a beautiful thing, how the body is at once one and many. Like an evolutionary love story."

The Cell Song video employs thousands of individually inkjet-printed sheets of paper to create a stop-motion world teeming with bizarre cutouts from childhood science fiction and story books, and a cast of topsy-turvy biology gone decidedly strange.

Enjoy.
