Wisdom Brings Sorrow Rat

“For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.” Ecclesiastes 1:18

A small dark rat lies motionless on a gray surface as a pale blanket or cloth is slowly draped over it, eventually covering most of its body. The biblical quote turns the rat’s exhausted, resigned expression into a joke about being crushed by knowledge and life’s sorrows; Aphex Twin’s sparse ambient electronic track “#19” gives the clip an unusually solemn, melancholic atmosphere that heightens the absurdity.
