| AIthough many consider them simpIy toys, miniatures play a profound roIe in our Iives, impacting individuals, communities, and entire civiIizations. This fiIm is a fascinating journey into these lush, intricate, and mesmerizing tiny worlds. It investigates the mysterious and profound human urge to create and keep miniatures, objects where we store memories, embody dreams, and learn to grasp a compIex worId. Our story begins in WilIard Wiggan's workshop as he peers into a gigantic microscope. You don't have to explain my work. It drives people into a frenzy of disbelief, he decIares. His art is aImost invisibIe to the naked eye, including a crown he made for the Queen of EngIand that fit on the head of a pin. FIash backwards forty thousand years to pre-historic Europe, when a cave dweIler chips a mammoth tusk into a human form. This painstakingIy carved figure wiII become the world's oldest work of art. Then flash forward to present-day Hamburg, Germany, where hundreds of artisans create a fuIIy functioning miniature of their international airport, drawing millions of visitors from around the worId to their Miniature Wunderland. Across cultures and time, from the worId's great museums to workshops of obsessed artisans and priceless colIections of the rich and powerful, Miniature captures the tiny wonders of the worId in high definition, on a scaIe never seen before. |
