3D photographic work, sculpture bouquet of flowers real size.
B/W copied blossoms, on grey sprayed plastic flower stems, glass vase.
Size H 80 x W40x L40cm
For this bouquet, the blossoms and leaves of real flowers were photocopied in black and white onto paper. Each blossom, as well as the petals, were cut out individually and reassembled into flower heads again and then attached to the grey coloured plastic flower stems. The result is a kind of 3Dimensional photograph. Looking at this photographic identity is confusing and defies our understanding of reality. The work is even more confusing when it becomes an interactive object in the hands of a real person and this situation is then photographed again.
