Odonata2011
Paul Clipson's Super-8 study of dragonflies draws close enough to grasp their carnivorousness (as "odonata" is rooted in the Greek word for "tooth"). Then, suddenly, a bifurcation: the intense cross-species gaze yields to an equally alien facade of skyscrapers, a shift in scale revealing the imaginative aspect of environment. - Max Goldberg

I loved the close ups of the dragonfly's eyes and mouth; did not understand the juxtaposition of the skyscrapers.
