Acerca del libro
The world of plants as we have never seen before. That is the essence of this catalogue of the travelling Photosynthesis exhibition. Artists belonging to art movement Tropism have been photographing the world of plants, using unusual, often scientific, visualization techniques. The use of infrared, x-ray, pinhole and electron microscopy give the images a surrealistic and magical touch. The results are unique artistic visualizations that offer a surprising and spectacularly different view on plants.

The dictionary definition of tropism is: ‘the ability of an organism to direct itself towards a stimulus’. The most common example is phototropism: the plant's ability to turn towards the light. In ancient Greek ‘tropo' means ‘change’ or ‘turn’. Tropism manifests itself in a variation of art domains in order to surprise and perhaps every now and then generate awareness. With art we can fulfil, cheer and enlighten. Tropism is art inflicted by stimuli from nature that shed new light and aims to shift perceptions.
