Herlinde Koelbl: Metamorphoses (Bilingual edition)

Photographic meditations on the transient beauty of flora

This clothbound volume compiles German photographer Herlinde Koelbl's (born 1939) vivid portraits of flora in various states of bloom or decay: light piercing a broken leaf revealing a network of fine veins; a lemon like a porous stone; petals curled in erotic shapes.
