Under The microscope

Michaela Grill’s experimental work builds on scientific films from the 1920s, with close-ups of cell divisions, time- lapse footage of growing fungi, pollen distribution and so on. By painting over and visually condensing the images and adding an almost vegetative soundtrack by Sophie Trudeau, she turns these im- ages into a multisensory attack. They become a psychedelic feast for the third eye, where the screen seems to be ex- ploding time and again. Welcome to the Pleasure Dome!
