Book of Plants by Anne Geene explores specimens of plants in their myriad forms and seasonal transformations—from withered and fallen leaves on the street, residential and public plantings, and weeds taking root in the cracks of concrete, to the traces of insect damage on leaves and the records of their shifting colors. This extensive process of documenting, collecting, organizing, and editing a vast archive of ordinary plants acts as a tribute to flora in all their appearances, expressing the remarkable beauty found in the everyday. In the artist’s work, the photograph itself is rarely the focus. Taken out of context, the pictures are often nothing more than a registration of an unremarkable fact. Her art is, therefore, constituted by the formation of new images through the act of documenting, organizing, and arranging them in relation to one another. Spanning over 400 pages, the book is an artwork in itself. Designed by Jeremy Jansen.
