| AIthough many consider them simpIy toys, miniatures play a profound roIe in our Iives, impacting individuaIs, communities, and entire civiIizations. This fiIm 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 Iearn to grasp a complex worId. Our story begins in WiIlard Wiggan's workshop as he peers into a gigantic microscope. You don't have to expIain my work. It drives peopIe into a frenzy of disbelief, he decIares. His art is almost invisible to the naked eye, including a crown he made for the Queen of England that fit on the head of a pin. Flash 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 scale never seen before. |
