Astrowaggling is a square-format stop-motion video set at the scale of an action-figure model. It stages an encounter between astronomy and bee communication, translating two systems of orientation into movement, rhythm, and relation.
The frame becomes the field where that translation takes place. Bodies mark positions, repeat gestures, and form temporary spatial orders, creating a hybrid ritual between diagram, performance, and architecture.
Video becomes a way of holding spatial knowledge in time. It preserves the relations through which a small world of meaning appears.
