Felix Dobbert has been devoting himself to flowers in his photographs since 2014. The publication presents four very different series. The medium of photography itself is interrogated again and again when, for instance, the active participation of algorithms in designing the pictures is addressed or when three-dimensional effects are produced directly by apps. The range extends from pictures of the past to minimalist still lifes that link the artificiality of our consumer world with the artificial aesthetics of hydrangea: “Natural, but extremely artificial, more leaf than bloom, and documented with no superficial symbolism.”
