After a while, visitors shrink to a microscopic size and an underwater world expands before them, becoming a world of plankton and microorganisms that is normally invisible to the naked eye. A continuous, living world is expressed through the abundant and beautiful mangrove forest ecosystem: the mangrove trees, the birds that live in the mangrove forest, the fish in the water, and the plankton and other microorganisms. https://mattatz.org/works/shibuya-selfie-crowd/ Sat, 27 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://mattatz.org/works/shibuya-selfie-crowd/ Visual experiment of crowds with Instagram selfies in Shibuya.
