A World in One Cubic Foot: Portraits of Biodiversity

Award-winning photographer David Liittschwager travels to habitats across the planet to document the riotous and interconnected life contained in one cubic foot. In each location, Liittschwager first sets down a metal cube-then, working with local scientists, he photographs all the life that moves through the cube over the course of 24 hours, creating individual portraits of the animals and plant life visible to the naked eye. From the tropical waters off Moorea, French Polynesia to the waters right under our own Golden Gate Bridge, Liittschwager-also a judge for the Academy's international Big Picture photography competition-captures the stunning diversity of life on Earth.
