Using a modified ‘full spectrum’ camera and a set of bandpass filters, Martine Stig explores her nearby environment in the near-infrared and ultraviolet, wavelengths imperceptible to humans but visible to bats, bees and machines.

The camera’s white balance function, typically used to transfer light colour (perceived by humans) to images, cannot be used as designed. Instead, Stig used random white balance pre-sets; the alien colours highlight the lack of standard or norm and reveal a slightly different reality.
