Nature vs Design
Benjamin Swanson and set designer Anne-Sophie Keen collaborate on a new personal project inspired by German sculptor and photographer Karl Blossfeldt. Can human made objects ever match what nature has already given us?
Benjamin and Anne-Sophie’s images explore the juxtaposition between functional design and the masterful ways in which plants grow, using the qualities inherent to photography - light and the photographic negative - to highlight the textural detail of each object, whether it is sculpted by nature for evolutionary advantage, or man for efficiency.
