Water through the microscope and the camera is an event to celebrate water and its microscopic life that could be captured by using microscopy and photography as high-powered expression of art. The exhibition will consist of a presentation of images and video of aquatic microscopic life commented by a scientist to illustrate the wonder of life in a drop of water. In the gallery, the microscope connected to a camera and a video will allow the direct and public observation of water samples; on the wall a selection of microphotographs of aquatic life forms. We celebrate water as the most valuable resource of daily use; scientific techniques and instruments will be realistically merged with interests of professional photographers and public opinion to unveil Mother Nature’s deepest and most beautiful secrets. “Seeing is believing”.
