Deets: Pass The Ammunition uses the visual language of animation to examine how violence is normalized, circulated, and sustained—often through systems that feel impersonal, routine, and “built in.” In the context of today’s escalating tensions, the work feels especially urgent—not as commentary on a single event, but as a lens on the broader machinery of conflict: how militarized responses become default options, how rhetoric hardens into policy, and how distance (geographic, political, emotional) can make the consequences of violence feel abstract. Pass The Ammunition asks audiences to look closely at what is being “passed” along—objects, responsibility, fear, power—and to consider where agency lives within these cycles. By using animation’s capacity for transformation and exaggeration, Peragine makes the familiar strange again, creating space to reflect on complicity, escalation, and the systems that keep conflict in motion. The animation’s rhythm—precise, relentless, and hypnotic—invites viewers to notice how easily repetition can become acceptance, and how quickly a tool becomes a symbol, then a habit, then a culture.
