    Description

    13 twigs, acting in concert as one body, imitating a stick insect, or a “wal- king stick” as they are known in North America.

There is something inherently handmade about their disguise, as the individual stick-appendages hang loosely together, and the success of their camouflage depends upon their coordination as they co-operate. The twig is neither entirely ghostly nor entirely physical matter –it is a fiction with three-dimensional features in a real filmed setting.
