| Description | Systema Metropolis is a new commission by American artist Mark Dion exploring the unnoticed wildlife in London. Blurs the line between the working methods of science and art, collecting samples from four iconic environments in the capital where urban and natural worlds collide. Working with Museum scientists, Dion
gathered samples from the microcosm of life in each environment. The small organisms found
were analysed, identified and are now at the heart of four installations evoking scientific environments, each reflecting different fieldwork locations
