Tiny Translocation Agency, a semi-fictional communications agency promoting the relocation of ants to non-degraded habitats.
An endangered invertebrate, Narrow-headed ant, found only at one heathland in South Devon and within the ancient pine forests of the Cairngorms of the Highlands.
The project combines elements of design and performance exploring a more than human response to species persistence and diminishing biodiversity.
