Bioluminescent bacteria are widely used in scientific research, usually as internal markers. By inverting this practice and employing bacteria as an external light source, objects and bodies, surfaces and skin are exposed to the soft ethereal glow of the bacteria, establishing new points of contact and visual punctures. What is usually seen under the lens of the microscope is here the source of light that reveals the features of human bodies and enters the world of domesticity.A unique live installation and exhibition called “Exploring the Invisible” displays people and objects photographed using bioluminecence emitted by certain strains of bacteria. In the midst of the old operating theater, photos taken using bioluminscent bacteria are projected onto a coffin like table...

Photos can hardly capture natural bioluminescent bacteria, for their glow seems more magnificent than what a camera can reproduce.After previous nights fondue, these prawns where taken out of the fridge and revealed themselves with a striking new coat.Foraging on the surface of these prawns were a lawn of bacteria called Pseudomonas Fluorescence that produces a green blue fluorescence.Invisible in natural light... it reminds us that sometimes you have to be in the dark to see bacteria - we avoided them instinctively, although they probably wouldn't cause us any serious damage.

Ruppy the transgenic puppy at 10 days old. Even under natural light the red protein can be seen in the skin and fur. The next image shows Ruppy under ultraviolet light (Photo: Byeong Chun Lee)Ruppy the transgenic puppy at 10 days old under ultraviolet light, showing the red fluorescent protein produced by sea anemones (Photo: Byeong Chun Lee). Ruppy's puppys. The ones on the ends have the RFP gene, while the one in the centre does not. Ruppy was bred to a non-transgenic dog, and fluroescent puppies were born in the expected Mendelian ratio. (source: New Scientist)
