Nu, mal Lust auf 22 Minuten Decay vom Allerfeinsten?
Joel Penner und Anna Sigrithur haben sich daran versucht und das ist ganz schoen maechtig auf der Metaebene was da rausgekommen ist, ich ziehe meinen Hut:

A stunning visual exploration of matter in various states of microbial transformation begs fundamental questions about our complicated relationships with other species.

Wrought begins with that universal moment of disappointment: despite all best efforts, our food has gone bad. But instead of turning away in disgust, Wrought zooms in, approaching the usually hidden world of decay with curiosity and stunning time lapse photography. Spoiling dinner leftovers bloom with successions of geometric bacterial colonies. Yeasts churn and froth in the torrential flood of juice leaking from a decaying melon. Cheese is slowly engulfed by carpets of furry, green mould. But, the film asks, would rot by any other name still reek?

In answering this question, Wrought unfolds a larger story about the ways we humans construct categories for the world around us that can be limiting. It explores (and challenges) terms like spoil, ferment, compost and rot as it coaxes audiences to decompose these categories and their associated binaries: self and other, human and non-human, and nature and culture. As the film title implies, we are all forged out of the relationships that transgress such binaries; we are all, indeed, wrought.
