EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, captured by Raymond Kleboe in 1948, we are transported into the mysterious world of ants. The print titled "Two Ants" showcases a remarkable encounter between a worker ant and an ant from another nest. As each nest possesses its own distinct scent, the worker ant recognizes the intruder through its slightly different smell. The vertical composition of the image allows us to closely inspect these tiny creatures as they engage in their intriguing interaction. The variation in size and physical features between the two ants creates striking contrasts within the frame. With no people present, our attention is solely focused on these fascinating insects and their intricate behavior. Kleboe's use of black and white adds a timeless quality to this archival photograph, emphasizing both the simplicity and complexity of nature's smallest inhabitants. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate not only the animal themes at play but also our own human interest in understanding such phenomena. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that even within our immediate surroundings, there exists an entire universe waiting to be explored. It encourages us to appreciate every creature's unique existence and marvel at their extraordinary abilities – like recognizing one another simply by scent alone.
