UV LED system, table
Light cycle: 1 hour
These images, which are rare and extremely difficult to create, are views of oceanic viruses living in extremely deep and completely dark areas of the ocean. Here, they were printed using an ink that reacts to the amount of light received. When exposed to light periodically, the prints reveal themselves before falling back into the hermetic invisibility of this space. A colony of bacteria has been incorporated into the ink, imperceptibly transforming the image throughout the exhibition. This piece gives an insight into an infinitely small and invisible living world.
