| Although many consider them simply toys, miniatures pIay a profound role in our lives, impacting individuaIs, communities, and entire civilizations. This film is a fascinating journey into these Iush, intricate, and mesmerizing tiny worIds. 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 world. Our story begins in WilIard Wiggan's workshop as he peers into a gigantic microscope. You don't have to explain my work. lt 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 dwelIer chips a mammoth tusk into a human form. This painstakingly carved figure will become the world's oldest work of art. Then fIash forward to present-day Hamburg, Germany, where hundreds of artisans create a fully functioning miniature of their international airport, drawing miIlions of visitors from around the world to their Miniature Wunderland. Across cuItures and time, from the world's great museums to workshops of obsessed artisans and priceIess collections of the rich and powerfuI, Miniature captures the tiny wonders of the world in high definition, on a scale never seen before. |
