Description
The prints in Svjetlana Tepavcevic’s Means of Reproduction series are camera-less photographs created by placing seed pods on a flatbed scanner. Fascinated by the infinitely varied and intricate structures that the most basic forms of life take, Tepavcevic enlarges the scans so that the pods are all the same size and scale and seem to float in front of a hazy field of color. Drawing on new imaging technologies, Tepavcevic says she aims “to bring the concept of portraiture to the still-life genre.”
