WARPING SMALL WORLDS

The capacity of light to travel through dimensions of space and time allows us to see further away from our spectrum, reaching the horizon of the minuscule reality. 

The “Warping Small Worlds” through a series of transformations not only explores the possibilities of observation and projection of microscopic realities through the filter of the lenses, but also the different ways of lighting the sample as well as projection of the captured image for the creation of a microscopic reality within the scale of our world.

The first type of transformation occurs in the observation and capturing of the microscopic image. Th e light is projected from various angles to expose different elements of the sample, from the front view to the shadows of the back and dark side of it. This is using the ability of light to expose the essence and nature of things through the pure reflection of light on the object or the more obscure projection of the shadows or silhouettes of it. 
The second type of transformation occurs during the projection of the captured microscopic image. Reflected surfaces are being used to project not only front flat views of the microscopic reality, but also stretched and distorted perspectival projections, leading to the illusion of a three-dimensional microscopic reality, within which we become fully submerged. The reality of the microscope is subdivided and transformed in threedimensional domains, fully integrating the user to the three-dimensional microscopic world.
