About this film

Highly Recommended: Video Librarian, Educatioinal Media Reviews Online Willard Wigan makes art so small it could fit in the eye of a needle. His entire collection?valued in the millions?could fit on a coin. He once inhaled three weeks of work when he breathed in at the wrong time. For Willard, the desire to go smaller and smaller is his eccentric escape from a chaotic world. But how does he do it and why? Using cutting edge macro camera technology and CGI graphics to take us into Willard?s tiny world, we follow him as he creates his smallest piece of art to date, attempting to beat his own world record with a sculpture totally invisible to the naked eye.
