From an article by Madeleine Weatherby for Musée Magazine:
Published by Stanley/Barker, Pia Paulina Guilmoth’s book At Night Gardens Grow is an elegy to the power of the night, which the photographer depicts as a force that can alter and shift perception. She also presents it as a site of transformation, one that starkly differs from the day, leaning into the childhood fascination with the night as an uncertain, unsettling, and distinctly inhuman realm. She portrays the darkness of the night as possessing a redefining power that can alter the spaces we see during the day beyond simply dark and light, imbuing nature, animals, and people with a highly strange, almost supernaturally unfamiliar quality. Spaces around Guilmoth’s home are rendered uncanny and weird, the same but somewhat altered in a way that is akin to a psychedelic transcendence of the usual and the everyday. The photographs are in black and white, which reinforces the atmosphere of the night.
