Powers of Ten

Inspired by the essay Cosmic View by Kees Boeke and the book The Powers of Ten, written by Philip and Phyllis Morrison, this film depicts the relative scale of the universe in factors of ten. A camera reproduces in equal steps the picture of a couple during a picknick. By zooming in, or out, by the scale of ten, the camera explores both the cosmos and the human body.
