A Bee Society — leonid keller

A Bee Society was created in Oaxaca, Mexico, with the help of a local bee farmer. The work incorporates pages from the propaganda yearbook Jungen Eure Welt, published for the Hitler Youth between 1938-1942. A Bee Society puts the natural, elaborate social system of honeybees in context with human, constructed forms of social behaviour.
