Karl Blossfeldt, from the series Urformen der Kunst, 1932/2003

„What distinguishes works of art from nature is the result of the creative act: determination of a self-designed form, the newly created, not recreated or repeated.“

Floris Neusüss, Photogramme, 1997

„It is true that the subject resting on the photo-sensitive paper presents its reverse side to be recorded, the side that is in shadow, the shadow cast by the object itself.“

“The work captures the moment of destruction as an elegant flower vase is destroyed by a projectile. My interest lies not in the ruin of the subject, but in the precise moment a dramatic transformation takes place.”

“The meaning of flowers depends on the cultural context of the viewer and therefore represent topics of great interest for me such as diversity and plurality of perceptions in relation to different cultural heritage, transcultural identities and globalization.”

“According to Shinto, each natural element on Earth has a soul. These ones, tiny but vivacious life forms, appears to be floating weightless in mid-air. Vegetal spirits animate, like an inverted reflection of insect mimicry.”
