This set of six porcelain dinner plates is designed by Vik Muniz in collaboration with Bernardaud. These pieces were inspired by the colourful strains and abstractions of Paenibacillus and Salmonella that are seen at the microscopic level. Each image shows the moment when an initial population of bacteria swam outward through an Agar gel, creating the equivalent of a microscopic traffic jam.
