Is it possible to enclose an ant inside of a bottle with no holes or gaps in such a way that the ant is able to simply walk out?
​
As strange as this may sound, there are actually several ways to accomplish this.
​
Bugbottle is a short film that explores the possibilities of structures that extend beyond our traditional three-dimensional space.
Although the topic of the film may be considered advanced, it is intended for a novice audience.
​
Starting with the construction of a Mobius strip, Bugbottle builds a visual vocabulary of methods for manipulating surfaces.
​
​
​
As the story progresses, we see the construction of a Klein bottle, a crosscap, and a Boy's surface: three structures that have the strange property of being closed surfaces with no holes and which have an inside that merges with the outside.
​
Bugbottle challenges the viewer to think in new ways by creating something beautiful out of the seemingly impossible.
