Diverse Microsculpture Insektenporträts

Sie werden Käfer oder Motten nie wieder auf die gleiche Weise betrachten. Kunst trifft Wissenschaft mit atemberaubendem Effekt. Microsculpture ist eine einzigartige fotografische Studie von Insekten in atemberaubender Vergrösserung, die die Wunder der Natur und Wissenschaft feiert. Die Fotografien von Levon Biss fangen die Schönheit der Insektenwelt in atemberaubenden Details ein und werden im Grossformat gedruckt, um ein unvergessliches Seherlebnis zu bieten. Jedes Bild in Microsculpture besteht aus etwa 8.000 Einzelaufnahmen. Segmente des Exemplars werden beleuchtet und separat mit Mikroskoplinsen fotografiert, bevor sie gestapelt werden, um durchgehend scharfen Fokus zu gewährleisten. Diese Bilder werden dann kombiniert, um eine einzige hochauflösende Datei zu erstellen. Vom Anfang bis zum Ende benötigt jedes Portrait etwa vier Wochen zur Erstellung. Das Projekt hat die Aufmerksamkeit der Welt auf sich gezogen und wurde in verschiedenen Publikationen vorgestellt. Microsculpture wurde im Oxford University Museum of Natural History und beim Xposure 2016 International Photography Festival ausgestellt. Bisher haben über eine halbe Million Menschen es gesehen, und es wird von 2017 an in Museen weltweit touren. Die Entomologiesammlung hat einen bedeutenden kulturellen und historischen Wert und enthält das älteste genadelte Insektensample der Welt sowie viele Tausende von Insekten, die von bahnbrechenden viktorianischen Entdeckern und Biologen wie Charles Darwin und Alfred Russell Wallace gesammelt wurden.

"You will never look at a beetle or a moth the same way again." --WIRED "Art meets science to dazzling effect." --The Guardian Microsculptureis a unique photographic study of insects in mind-blowing magnification that celebrates the wonders of nature and science. Levon Biss's photographs capture in breathtaking detail the beauty of the insect world and are printed in large-scale format to provide an unforgettable viewing experience. Each picture in Microsculpture is created from approximately 8,000 individual photographs. Segments of the specimen are lit and photographed separately using microscope lenses, then "stacked" to maintain sharp focus throughout. These images are then combined to create a single high-resolution file. From start to finish, each portrait takes approximately 4 weeks to create. The project has captured the attention of the world with features in WIRED and New Scientist. Microsculpture has been exhibited at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and the Xposure 2016 International Photography Festival in Sharjah, U.A.E. It has been viewed by over half a million people so far and will be touring museums around the world from 2017 onward. The entomology collection has significant cultural and historical value, containing the world's oldest pinned insect specimen and many thousands of insects collected by pioneering Victorian explorers and biologists such as Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace.
