Koenig & Clinton is very pleased to be participating in Paris Photo this year, with a presentation centering around concepts of nature versus nurture.
Unique photographs by Miljohn Ruperto & Ulrik Heltoft inspired by the mythical 17th-century Voynich Manuscript give new life to old mysteries. The Voynich Botanical Series references specific illustrations contained in this hotly debated document, portraying organisms that are part-flora, part-fauna. These fantastical organisms are represented at varying stages of the life cycle, symbolized by the four seasons: summer, fall, winter, and spring. The silver gelatin prints are produced through a fusion of digital renderings and traditional darkroom processes to birth images that simultaneously pay tribute to tradition and innovation, history and imagination.
