Ziad Antar, The Little Boat (Il Était un...), 2020, Video, Still image
The Onassis Foundation (onassis Stegi ans Onassis USA) "gave artists from around the world 120 hours to create from home a series of new original comissions; sharing their new reality."
Ziad Antar took "one of the world's most popular childre's songs as a sample, this video slowly reaveals the latent violence embedded in the culture addressed to kids. This is a single video take, similar to a photograph, in which a tiny instrument is left to self-unwind with so much tenderness while the song's story of almost carnivorous nature is told."
