Based on my father’s photographs of his job site, these 12 drawings are intended to evoke the archive of a real history. The animal protagonists act out scenes of accidents, a meeting, construction sites, an inspection trip, and the celebration of the completion of the special tunnel project. This special tunnel project wasn’t completed in the story of the gods version which was narrated in the sound piece, “Dream Tunnel.”
