Microsculpture is a series of beautiful, high magnification portraits that capture the microscopic form of insects in striking large-format and high-resolution detail.
The exhibition was created by photographer Levon Biss and showcases the insect collection of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
Microsculpture presents a new perspective on insects, enabling audiences to study and appreciate the hidden details of the insect world in a unique and engaging way.
Each image on display in Microsculpture took about four weeks to create and was created from over 8,000 separate images taken using microscope lenses. The photographs are printed in large-scale formats, with insects that are millimeters long being presented at up to 9 feet tall.
Presented by The American Museum of Natural History and toured in New Zealand/Aotearoa by Whirinaki Whare Taonga.
