Sunken Gardens

In February 2010, Helene Schmitz made a journey to South America in the footsteps of Daniel Rolander, a neglected and forgotten Linnaean apostle. As a part of the project she visited a butterfly farm in the jungle. A man with Dutch origin ran the farm. The mans attempts to curb a seemingly insatiable nature, obviously beyond all control, captured her interest.

The photographs were exhibited in Paris at Galerie Maria Lund in 2010, and in Stockholm at Fotografiska in 2011.
