Joost,
From what I recall of Ai (Love), it doesn't necessarily get microscopic, but
he shoots the parts of the bodies so closely that you often can't tell what
part(s) you're looking at. Yoko Ono's Fly kind of does that too. And there's
another great very short Iimura film called Fog in which a white screen that
looks like empty leader eventually reveals itself to be fog gradually
dissipating to barely reveal a tree. When I saw it the audience reaction was amazing.
During the silent, white part they started chatting and shifting, but when the
tree started to appear: total silence.
On the scientific side, you may have seen them already, but there are those
nature films by a French director who's name escapes me (there was a
retrospective and book a few years ago) one of which is time lapse of a vine growing up
a trellis, which is just incredible.
