Botanical by Samuel Zeller

“Botanical” is a modern photographic take on the classical botanical illustrations from the 17th century.The green-house structure is the frame and the glass the canvas. The reality is deformed, reproduced, embellished.

It might take us a lifetime to find out what it is we need to say. Most of us fall into where our feelings are headed while we’re quite young. But the beauty of all this uncertainty would be that in the process of exhausting all the possibilities, we might actually stumble unconsciously into the recognition of something that’s useful to us, that speaks to a deep need within ourselves. At the same time, I like to think that in order for any of us to really do anything new, we can’t know exactly what it is we are doing… It’s cool to be wrong. It’s so essential, so necessary. It’s so appropriate to be confused, to be muddled, to be unsure. We preach clarity. Get your ideas organized. Get your thinking straight. And it’s the kind of stuff we all got from our parents, because that’s the role of parents. But it is the aliveness of the unguarded intuition and the persistence of our own feelings that guide us to our discoveries… Everything really good in our experience is in some way beyond our control.

School starts here in a couple weeks. After a summer off, the fall semester always brings anxiety and uncertainty. Gowin’s words are comforting, but also make me want to call the whole thing off, grab my cameras and run as far from the classroom as I can.

Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation. by Mathieu Asselin

For the past three years I have travelled around the United State photographing places and people deeply affected by Monsanto. Until now I was covering all the expenses myself. My project is coming to a conclusion and I have to travel to two more places. The first one is Vietnam where I will photograph the consequences of the massive use of Agent Orange at the Tu Du Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. The second one is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on a remote island in Norway where seeds from all around the world are stored.

Around $6,000 are required to finish this last segment. Your support will help to complete three years of research and travels.

“A job the artist does which no-one else does is to dismantle existing communication codes and to recombine some of their elements into structures which can be used to generate new pictures of the world.”[i] In this assessment an artist is not simply someone who works within the institutions of art; it is someone who works in relation to, and at odds with the structures of culture at large. An artist may well exhibit in galleries but may also be a writer, architect, filmmaker, designer, musician, philosopher, scientist or speaker. Art is a matter of pursuing “new pictures of the world,” and this pursuit can take place anywhere. In this sense art is not an institution or even a discourse, but a disposition characterized by the desire for things to be other than, or better than they are. Art can be found anywhere and the medium of photography aids and structures the expression of that wish.
