"People will decorate their holiday with you for only a few days, and leave you to die on a white, cold window …" - this phrase about white roses from the song of the same name by the unforgettable Yura Shatunov and "Tender May" fits this material perfectly as an epigraph. After all, the Israeli photographer Ori Gersht (Ori Gersht), whose works will be discussed today, is not just blowing up flower beds and bouquets. And with a very specific purpose. I would even say - with intent.
The project, called Blow Up, aka Explosion, is inspired by the floral painting of the 19th century artist Henri Fantin-Latour. However, Ori Gersht's photographs "catch" the flowers at the very moment they explode. The human eye does not see what happens when an explosion occurs, but modern technology will help us look around this corner.
But not only this is the whole point of the project. The author does not agree that flowers are a symbol of peace and love, they are forced to give their lives to be admired for a short time in a vase or wreath. And the photos of the explosion show the connection that exists between violence and beauty, between destruction and birth.
