Product Description

Botanical gardens represent people’s centuries-old fascination with exotic plants. Werner Pawlok has photographically explored special tropical greenhouses within Europe & shows us here his most beautiful pictures in his usual colorfully expressive manner – from the Palm House in the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen, to Kew Gardens in London, & the Great Palm House at Schönbrunn. The scent of the warm earth & the breath of the plants can almost be felt when looking at the large-format & colorful pictures. Fascinating interplays of color allow the filigree architecture of famous master builders & the impressive plants to shine in a special light. Pawlok, self-taught & intuitive photographer, captures these magical places in a fascinating way. Each photo is a work of art in itself.

Interesting texts about the cultural history of greenhouses, from the simple wooden construction to the efficient glass dome, accompany this extraordinary photo book. Let yourself be inspired by Pawlok’s high-end photographs & embark on a nostalgic journey. As Pawlok himself puts it: “Being allowed to enter these wonderful glass palaces & explore their green-scented, tropical interiors with my camera felt like an expedition into the heart of the 19th century.”
