Ant Football tells a story about synchronicity: meaningful coincidences. Based on a series of events that occurred on holiday in Budapest it all started with a roll of film I found in an antique shop. Most frames showed a TV screen with an old fashioned talk show on. The day after I bought the film we got hit by a car when crossing the road. Looking back I was struck by the coincidence that after the accident all I could do was rest my injured body in my hotel bed and watch TV, completely unaware of the TV pictures I had found. In Hungarian TV noise is called hangyafoci, meaning 'ant football'
