Extramission: The Capture of Glowing Eyes dives into the meticulous work of conservators at the Natural History Museum, but it's not your typical documentary. The use of thermal imaging gives it this eerie, almost voyeuristic vibe, like you're peering into a hidden world. You feel the weight of history in the air as they carefully handle those South American taxidermy pieces. The pacing varies, sometimes slow, which enhances the tension of each restoration process. Those infra-red night shots add an atmospheric layer, making the specimens almost come alive under the camera's gaze. It's a distinctive take on conservation, blending artistry and science with a subtle commentary on preservation and our relationship with nature.
