Feeding on light
Feeding on Light - Imagine a collection of perforated leaves in which organisms such as insects, fungi or bacteria present in the foliage have created a whole series of patterns. The work "Feeding on Light" by Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky examines photosynthesis through experimental photography. Bringing the outdoors into his analogue colour darkroom, the artist captures traces of the often symbiotic relationships observed between trees, insects and the sun. The book takes the form of a a field guide, with a comprehensive index of common and scientific plant names that links the hundreds of photograms, contact prints, and negatives. Essays contextualize his work through biology, ecology, and philosophy.
