One Thousand Points of Light

For the exhibition, Melvin Moti created a new film Eigenlicht, meaning ‘intrinsic light’, that captures the spectrum of vibrant colours the minerals emit under UV light. The film was shown alongside a selection of specimens and artefacts chosen from across the collection by Moti, ranging from fluorescing fossils and scorpions to uranium scent bottles.
