Memories of Planet Polecat

Produced during a collaborative residency at Coleman Projects, Andrew Munks and Sophie Michael joined forces with their pets to create a video work in which 'Tales of the Riverbank' meets eco sci-fi.

Memories of Planet Polecat depicts a business of ferrets; Bambino, Poley, Silver and Sandy on their home planet in the past/future. Shot over the course of one day, they can be seen exiting the spaceship, waking up, playing, and winding down for the evening; all accompanied by contemporary space ferret melodies.
