这个展览展出的是俄罗斯艺术家雷地摩阿尼斯金的作品。
He calls himself a micro-miniaturist and makes the sculptures using a microscope and hand-made tools.
他称他自己叫作微雕艺术家，并且使用一台显微镜和手工制成的工具做雕塑品。
His art fits on a sliced grape seed, a grain of rice or even a human hair.
他的艺术品比一个切片的葡萄种子，一粒大米或者甚至一根人发还小。
It’s a kind of work that requires extreme self-control.
这种工法需要具备极端的克制力。
[Vladimir Aniskin, Micro-minaturist]:
“If you hold an instrument under a microscope and relax, you will see that the end of the instrument moves each time your heart beats. The heart beats in pulses and between those pulses you have around half a second to make a controlled movement. After much practice, I have learned to work between my heart beats. In those breaks, I do the most diligent work."
[雷地摩阿尼斯金，超微型艺术家]：
“如果你在一台显微镜下拿着一个工具并且放松自己，你将看到每当你的心脏跳动的时候，工具的末端在移动。脉搏里的跳动，在那些脉搏之间你只有大约半秒钟可以做一次可控制的移动。经过多次练习之后，我学到了在心跳之间工作。在那些间断的过程中，我完成我最精心的作品。”
