Licensing · publishing · broadcast
Bring Imaginarium of Tears into print, film and editorial context.
High-resolution tear artworks, archive imagery and selected footage can be licensed for editorial features, documentaries, publications, broadcasts and digital media.
The work has already appeared across newspapers, magazines, television, online media and public storytelling formats. Existing material is licensed according to intended use, medium, territory, duration, placement and promotional rights.
If the archive does not fit the brief, new microscopy, footage or artwork can be developed separately as a commissioned collaboration.
Broadcast & documentary
Selected footage, microscope process imagery and still material for television, documentary and cultural programming.
Digital & online media
Images and visual assets for web features, digital publishing, online articles and specifically agreed promotional extensions.
Archive & special use
Publication reprints, educational use, exhibition-related publishing, publicity, trailers and other specifically scoped rights.
Print & editorial proof
The imagery already lives naturally inside editorial design.
From full newspaper spreads and cultural sections to covers and smaller editorial placements, microscopic tear imagery has repeatedly proved strong enough to carry both a page and a story.
These examples are shown as proof of format and visual impact. Any new use is licensed according to the specific publication, placement and rights requested.
Television & broadcast
The work can move from a still image into a programme or documentary.
Broadcast use often combines finished tear imagery with process, context, interviews and moving-image material.
Imaginarium of Tears and the microscopy process have appeared in television contexts including Het Klokhuis: Huilen and Christian Hook’s Sky Arts documentary Painting the Invisible. Existing footage can be licensed where available; new filming or microscope sequences are scoped separately.
Different scales, same visual language
The work can anchor a full spread or support a longer editorial story.
A licensing request does not need to be limited to a single hero image. Depending on the context, a publication may use a series, details, process material or supporting images around a main artwork. The exact selection and rights are agreed before delivery.

Quote & supply
The agreed rights are quoted and approved high-resolution files or footage are then supplied for that use.
Existing material or new work?
Licensing and commissioning are related, but not the same.
License existing material
Best when the archive already contains the right photograph or footage for your article, documentary, publication, programme or other media use.
Request licensing →Commission something new
Best when the brief requires new microscopy, new filming, a specific visual narrative, bespoke artwork or a project developed around a particular audience or theme.
