Felix Dobbert has been dedicated to capturing the beauty of flowers in his photographs since 2014. The publication showcases four distinct series that explore the medium of photography in innovative and thought-provoking ways. One series delves into the use of algorithms in designing the pictures, questioning the boundaries between human creativity and machine intelligence. Another series employs three-dimensional effects produced directly by apps, blurring the lines between reality and digital art. The range of images extends from historical photographs to minimalist still lifes that juxtapose the artificiality of our consumer world with the artificial aesthetics of hydrangeas. These works, described as "natural, but extremely artificial, more leaf than bloom, and documented with no superficial symbolism," invite viewers to contemplate the interplay between nature and artifice. Through his lens, Dobbert invites us to appreciate the intricate details and vibrant colors of flowers, while also raising questions about the role of technology in shaping our visual perception and artistic expression.
