of anzenberger gallery We will exhibit seven works by Austrian and international artists with a floral theme. Using a variety of photography-based techniques, he has created works full of aesthetics, humor, fantasy, perfection, and poetry. I decided to introduce the works of Natalie Strohmeier.
Natalie Strohmeier: Unreachable beauty
The series “Unattainable Beauty” focuses on the unrealistic beauty ideals that continue to be conveyed through advertising and social media, despite recent protests. The advertising industry’s portrayal of perfection creates pressure to conform to certain body types and fashion standards. To deal with these absurd beauty ideals that are difficult to escape in everyday life, artificial creatures are created using flowers, symbols of exceptional beauty and youth, that pose like models in front of the camera. I did. The new “superflowers” are clearly not naturally cultivated, but express an unattainable beauty that is artificially created. The fascinating creatures captivate viewers with their unusual appearances, while also raising questions about the artificial optimization of appearance in general, as well as the flood of manipulated images in advertising and social media. .
All “flower models” were assembled by hand from a variety of cut flowers and potted plants and photographed in a studio. Some of the plants and flowers were sewn together or pinned together, but were later modified.
