From Allison Meier’s article for Hyperallergic:
The 73 photographic plates in Robert Voit’s “The Alphabet of New Plants” each frame a different floral detail, from bursting blooms to twisting branches. But all is not as it seems, as on closer inspection those petals are frayed fabric, the stems stiff plastic. Voit’s series is inspired by another German photographer’s work — Karl Blossfeldt’s 1928 “The Alphabet of Plants” — and considers the uncanny nature of our fake plants.
