About Samsa Fotograafiline kunstiteos
Samsa on fotograafiline kunstiteos sarjast Neglect. Sari kujutab putukate konserveeritud eksemplare, kellest enamik on välja surnud või kriitiliselt ohustatud. Pildid on tehtud digitaalse kaamerasüsteemi ja 105 mm makroobjektiiviga. Väga suurte, 185-megapikslise failide loomiseks kasutati multishot-funktsiooni. Ehitati väike lauastuudio, et hapraid eksemplare saaks pildistada peaaegu ilma neid puudutamata. Trükised valmivad kahes suuruses ja piiratud tiraažis. Eesmärk on avada putukate ebatavaline ilu ning juhtida tähelepanu putukate väljasuremisele.

Press Kit

Part of the collection NEGLECT, photographed specimens of animals, most of which are extinct or critically endangered.
I want to show a little bit of the sometimes bizarre beauty of the insects, so that the viewer might see them with different eyes.
Because insect extinction is very real and not a made-up story. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Different artworks in two sizes in the end: 80 x 60cm and 120 x 90 cm. All available in strictly limited editions of 10/5 pieces.

- Production Technology
- Digital photography with the Leica SL2 system and a 105mm Macro lens.
The photographer used the "Multishot" function of the Leica System to produce giant 185 megapixel pictures of these little creatures. - Design Challenge
- The hardest part was to invent a small table-top-studio situation to photograph the little very fragile prepared insects. The photographer wanted to touch them as little as possible because the preparations are very fragile.
- Inspiration
- Insect extinction is very real and not a made-up story.
And these little creatures do not have a loud lobby.
The photographer wants to show a little bit of the sometimes bizarre beauty of the insects, so that the viewer might see them with different eyes.
Florian W. Mueller worked before with the Senckenberg Institute on a project about mammals. - Project Duration
- The planning took about half a year, in total it was four days on site to photograph. The post production took another two weeks.
- Operation Flow
- The photographer asked for the permission to photograph these sometimes very rare or extinct insects in the institute in Brandenburg near Berlin in Germany. Then he got to work there with great support.
