Catalogue Note
“The photographs taken in the jungles of Australia, Japan, and China, as well as in the Californian woods, contain a wealth of delicately branched information, which makes it almost impossible, especially in large formats, to isolate single forms. One can spend a lot of time in front of these pictures and remain helpless in terms of knowing how to deal with them.”
