Flower Power

In this book, contemporary photography offers us a stimulating rereading of flowers, a time-honoured theme : seen as emblematic of an awareness and aesthetics of the living world. What is revealed here is a remarkable laboratory for regenerating photography and its processes. The thirty artists represented in this book put the focus on the flowers as matter, on the substances that constitute them, on the perfumes that emanate from them.
Flowers are ecological icons. Not fashionable, perhaps, but more germane than ever.
