In her new book «An Apparition of Memory,» Brigitte Lustenberger celebrates the beauty of aging and the passage of time with delicate, almost transparent flower images. She explores the fragility of life and our relationship with memories through photography.
Dried flowers, fixed on Diaglass, are transformed into intricate photographs. Lustenberger honors the beauty of decay, taking us into a fascinating world of withered flowers. The images reveal the astonishing details of nature's sophisticated constructions. The artist skillfully merges the ephemeral nature of a light drawing with the preservation of a photograph.
Four essays by renowned curators provide insights into the process-oriented approach of the artist, the fusion of analog and digital technologies in her work, and integrate «An Apparition of Memory» into Western and Japanese photo and art history.
