blow up

In early autumn 1999, Helene Schmitz and her collaborator Jessica Clayton made a journey to the island of Ven. In the ambience of Tycho Brahe's renaissance gardens, they decided to portray Nature's four seasons trough the beauty and structure of plants. Four years later the book Blow Up was published and in 2003 it was nominated to the Swedish August prize.
