Micropia

The first pornographic production ever by PlusOne. We’ve created six sex tapes for Micropia: the first museum of its kind, displaying the invisible world of micro-organisms.

Together with a team of microbiologists we sat down to come up with a plan on how to visualize six microorganisms having sex. As there is still a lot undocumented about this subject we had to be creative within the boundaries set by the specialists. To give the audience the feeling they are looking through a microscope we choose a realistic look.
