A Window into the Micro World

‘A Window into the Micro World’ is an artist's moving image installation exploring the unseen microscopic world that exists, hidden beyond human vision. The piece showcases microorganisms through micro videography, revealing their movements and behaviours in order to transform this scientific observation into an abstract immersive visual experience. The installation is presented via dual screen projection together with an immersive ambient soundscape responding to each organism's movements. Alongside the projections is a ‘moss covered rock’ sculpture contrasting the visible natural world with the hidden life residing on its surface unobserved by the naked eye. This blend of science and art invites audiences to engage with a world beyond human vision.
