  WINNIE THE PEYOTL  
  4min  
  2004  
     
Filmed in Mexico City, Winnie the Peyotl is a colourful video, for kids aged 3 and up, presenting agitated costumed cartoon characters and religious figures dancing to an electronic cover of a classic merengue track.  As the original footage is digitally altered, the picture seems to melt, while individual pixels separate and start to create colorful patterns.  The video illustrates the experience of grasping the world for the first time and beginning to make sense of it.
