Featured exhibition

Tiny Revelations — Nicolaïkerk, Utrecht · 2026

01 / Our perspective

Wonder and explanation belong together.

For us, SuperNatural is the extraordinary within nature. We bring scientists, artists and thinkers together to explore what living systems reveal—and what those discoveries mean for being human.

Encounters with the living world.

Selected projects

A colorful microscopic landscape of cells and tissue

Exhibition / Utrecht, 2026

Tiny
Revelations.

A microscopic world. A human encounter. Art, research and personal stories invite us to look closer at life—and at ourselves.

Inside the exhibition
Visitors immersed in the Meet the Organoid installation at Betweter Festival

Installation / Betweter 2023 & 2024

Meet the Organoid.

What happens when a living research model becomes a work of art? Microscopic imagery, projection, sound and painting open up questions about life, care and the ethics of research.

Meet the project
Delicate pink and gray forms in microscopy imagery for Mother’s Milk

Installation / In development

Mother’s Milk.

What changes when we look at human milk as living material? An installation in development brings microscopy, cultural images and lived experience into conversation.

02 / The foundation

Two ways of looking.
A shared curiosity.

Founded by scientist Anne Rios and writer Stephan Ummelen, the foundation brings research into conversation with art, philosophy and the people whose lives it touches.
