Herbarium Amoris
Cena 1 899,00 Kč s 10% DPH
In Herbarium Amoris, Koinberg captures the lyricism and refulgent eroticism of the floral word in vivid close-ups, shot against dark backgrounds, the dew glittering on outspread petals, the most delicate of vegetal forms infused with unbridled life force.
Having cultivated several hundred plants in his country house, Koinberg photographs each delicate bloom in his studio under perfect lighting conditions, depicting the life cycle of various flora as they bud, flourish and wane, resulting in a modern Calendarium Florae, a visual calendar that charts the year through flowers.
Swedish photographer Edvard Koinberg creates a modern visual counterpart to Linnaeus"s work, approaching the subject with equal passion and dedication.
Working with his collection of over 20,000 specimens, Linnaeus grouped flowers and plants in a Calendarium Florae, and systematically classified plant species by the number and arrangement of their reproductive parts, drawing direct parallels with human sexual organs.
The notion of plant sexuality was initiated by Swedish botanist and physician Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778).
