after all (photo series) 2024
BUILDING GREENHOUSES FOR EXTINCT PLANTS

Several installations of apocalyptic landscapes re-imagine extinct plant species by transforming their scans into enormous paper sculptures.
They reappear as zombies in these installations which linger between past and future, reality and speculation.
