450 huge ants ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿœ invade Saatchi Gallery with an installation by Colombian artist Raphael Gomezbarros

Entitled Casa Tomada, ๐Ÿœ the work makes a very particular reference to a short story by Argentine writer Julio Cortรกzar, in which the inhabitants of a large mansion become invaded by elusive presences announced solely by muted sounds. In the context of these public art interventions, the metaphor reminds the viewer what Cortรกzar himself declared shortly before passing away: unless a country buries its dead, they will always be remembered as ghosts in the attic.
