Microscopías

2003 · 23 min · Documentary

Various objects are observed using a high-resolution electron microscope: some paint pigments from a supposed 19th-century painting, a dollar bill, and a piece of old film celluloid in the process of decomposition. Microscopic observation will reveal the mysteries hidden on the surface of these materials: the infinite number of paintings that can be found in a tiny fragment of paint, the other possible invisible motion pictures that are hidden in each little piece of film.
