TWO VIEWS OF PLANTS

In the organizer's words:

Strange-looking plants in cyan and red that - viewed through 3D glasses - suddenly unfold into voluminous photographic sculptures. Viewed through 3D glasses, the seemingly familiar natural forms take on a quality all their own: delicate and fragile, at times alien, the leaves and blossoms appear as they form into a photographic sculpture.

Director, cinematographer and photographer Sebastian Cramer presents his own interpretation of traditional stereophotography -a photographic technique for the spatial representation of images- at the Botanical Garden. The illusion of spatial depth on a two-dimensional surface, is one of the oldest techniques in photography.

Cramer's exhibition is a project about seeing and experiencing space. The modern, contemporary works prove that stereo photography, once so successful but now almost completely forgotten, has lost none of its original fascination.

On view are large-scale 3D photographs of plants and historical specimens from the Munich Botanical State Collection.
