Description: Biologist Cornelia Dulac has been missing since 2014. Her audiotapes were discovered at a remote cabin in Eastern Finland together with a fully-equipped research laboratory and a year's supply of food. It is obvious that something had deviated from Dulac's plans. She had been researching hydra, an immortal freshwater polyp. 'Immortal' is an art book that combines scientific research, art and storytelling. The authors, artist and Doctor of Arts Maija Tammi and visual storyteller Ville Tietäväinen, pull the readers into the world of forever-young hydra under the surface of Dulac's experiments and obsessive mind
