Synopsis
Erysichthon is the final element in a trilogy of videos including Still Life (Betamale) and Mainsqueeze.

These examples of subcultures are investigated through the theme of devouring and ingesting, used as a metaphor for our culture of consumption and our relationship to the virtual world.
