This exciting half-hour documentary follows Colombian born artist Maria Fernanda Cardoso in the lead up to her next exhibition. She has been fascinated by nature and the intricacies of sex since she was a child. Now she dreams of a Museum of Reproductive Morphology or, in laywoman's terms, a penis museum. Cardoso has been intently studying animal penises, specifically those of insects, and the blend of art and science she achieves in her sculptures is stunning and revelatory.
