This exhibition is a collaboration with photographers from various fields, including professional artists, a ceramist, a medical technician, science photographers, an astronomer, and documenters. All present different approaches and interests. Subjects range from the minuscule of small living insects to the vast unimaginable area of deep interstellar space. Simple elements are presented from an unusual viewpoint. Scale and proportion are distorted. Enormity and minute are placed alongside each other. Things that first seem far apart are all interconnected.

Our life is as big as what we want it to be. Things are as important as how we perceive them. This exhibition is about perception and perspective. It points to how we see ourselves, the world, and our place in the universe. It is also trying to explore the role of photography and its cross-disciplinary functions.

Astronomers look back, literally, into the Nebula to understand star formation, the foundation of all the elements and life. The age of the universe is close to 14 billion years, but homo sapiens only emerged in the last 300,000. Since then, all matter and observations have been given meaning as understood and perceived by us. Objects have been given insights and abstract concepts, with layers of understanding and complexity as can only be recognized by a human being.
This exhibition is a collaboration with photographers from various fields, including professional artists, a ceramist, a medical technician, science photographers, an astronomer, and documenters. All present different approaches and interests. Equipment and techniques used vary from analogue to digital, light source to electron particles, and latest technology customization to ready-made. Some photographers here do not consider themselves artists. However, with such passion, art is just another man-made definition based on culture and context, open to different perspectives and interpretations. What these people have in common is their devotion to present the world they all have experienced, understood, and been fascinated by.
