World riddle takes as its inspiration and source the work of Victorian biologist Ernst Haeckel. Besides being a early pioneering scientist Haeckel represented a powerful voice in the dissemination of Darwin's work and also coined the terms "ecology" and "stem cell". He is best known however for producing countless and unbelievably detailed drawings of never before seen microscopic life and consequently, he literally "blew the minds" of the Victorian world.
World Riddle draws together, elements of Victorian science, etching, digital video, underwater recordings and ambient music to create an immersive experience that engages through dreamlike illusionary depth.
