독일 신즉물주의 사진작가이자 조각가인 칼 블로스펠트는 다양한 식물의 일부분을 정교하게 확대 촬영하는 방식으로, 식물의 조소적 아름다움을 독창적으로 표현했다. 일종의 절제된 식물표본 아카이브 형식을 통해, 자연과 예술 형식의 관계에 새로운 관점을 제시한 것이다. 는 블로스펠트의 섬세한 작업에서 영감을 받아 시작되었으며, 여전히 매혹적이고 아름답지만 상업적 가치가 낮은 꽃에 사회적 관계를 대안적으로 융합하여 자연과 인간 사이의 유기적인 상호작용을 현대적으로 재구성하는 데 초점을 맞추고 있다.

이번 작업에서는 꽃집에 진열돼 있지만 선택받지 못한, 비교적 상품성이 낮은 꽃의 모습을 포착했다. 꽃은 수조에 띄워 캔버스 위에 배치하고 캔버스 아래에는 앰프에 연결된 스피커들을 설치한 뒤, 인공적 음성 없이 오로지 자연에서 채집한 음향을 증폭시켜 수면에 파동을 일으켰다. 소리에서 비롯한 음파는 수조 속 물 위를 부유하는 꽃에 미묘한 움직임을 만들어내며 결핍된 휴머니즘을 재작동시키고, 공간을 환기한다.
음향이 재생되는 동안 꽃의 움직임을 장노출 촬영으로 잔상을 기록한 사진에는, 음파를 전달한 물의 존재는 사라지고 물의 파동에 따라 움직인 꽃의 형상만 모호하고 불확실한 형태로 진화한다. 이처럼 예측할 수 없는 시각적 결과물을 보며, 관객들은 자신의 감정과 경험을 투영해 다양한 해석을 시도할 수 있다. 이번 프로젝트는 기존 사진 매체의 표현·기술적 방식에서 벗어나 대안적 가능성을 탐구하고, 매체로서 사진의 확장성과 순수 예술의 포용성을 실험하는 시도이다.


German New Objectivity photographer and sculptor Karl Blossfeldt uniquely revealed the sculptural beauty of plants by meticulously magnifying their parts. Through a restrained, archive-like presentation of botanical specimens, he offered a new perspective on the relationship between nature and artistic form. Alternative Forms of Floral Movement series was initiated in response to Blossfeldt’s delicate practice, reinterpreting the organic interaction between nature and humanity by integrating the social dimensions of flowers that, while still alluring and beautiful, hold little commercial value.

This work captures flowers displayed in shops yet left unchosen—those deemed less desirable in the marketplace. A water tank was placed atop a canvas, with speakers connected to an amplifier installed beneath it. Instead of artificial sounds, only sounds collected from nature were amplified, creating ripples across the water’s surface. These sound waves induced subtle movements in the floating flowers, reactivating a sense of depleted humanism and transforming the space.

During playback, the flowers’ movements were captured through long-exposure photography. In the resulting images, the presence of water—once transmitting the sound waves—vanishes, leaving behind only the ambiguous, uncertain forms of the flowers as they evolved in response to the ripples. Through these unpredictable visual outcomes, viewers are invited to project their own emotions and experiences, attempting diverse interpretations. This project explores alternative possibilities beyond conventional photographic techniques, experimenting with the expansiveness of photography as a medium and the inclusiveness of fine art.

The Alternative Forms of Floral Movement series was inspired by Blossfeldt’s delicate practice. It focuses on reconfiguring the organic interaction between nature and humanity in a contemporary manner by integrating flowers—still captivating and beautiful yet of little commercial value—into alternative forms of social connection.

In this work, flowers displayed in florists’ shops but left unchosen were collected and floated in a water tank placed atop a canvas. Beneath the canvas, speakers connected to an amplifier were installed. Instead of artificial voices, only sounds collected from nature were amplified to generate ripples across the water’s surface. These sound waves induced subtle movements in the floating flowers, reactivating a sense of depleted humanism and opening up the surrounding space.

During playback, the flowers’ movements were captured through long-exposure photography. In the resulting images, the presence of water—conveying the sound waves—disappears, while the flowers evolve into ambiguous, uncertain forms shaped solely by the rippling motion. Through these unpredictable visual outcomes, viewers are invited to project their own emotions and experiences, engaging in diverse interpretations.

This project departs from conventional expressive and technical approaches to photography, instead probing its alternative possibilities while experimenting with the medium’s expansiveness and the inclusiveness of fine art.
