Botanical gardens represent people's centuries-old fascination with
exotic plants. Werner Pawlok has photographically explored special
tropical greenhouses within Europe and shows us here his most
beautiful pictures in his usual colourfully expressive manner -
from the Palm House in the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen, to Kew
Gardens in London, and the Great Palm House at Schönbrunn. The
scent of the warm earth and the breath of the plants can almost be
felt when looking at the large-format and colourful pictures.
Fascinating interplays of colour allow the filigree architecture of
famous master builders and the impressive plants to shine in a
special light. Pawlok, self-taught and 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 and embark on
a nostalgic journey. As Pawlok himself puts it: "Being allowed to
enter these wonderful glass palaces and explore their
green-scented, tropical interiors with my camera felt like an
expedition into the heart of the 19th century." Text in English and
German.
