About Samsa 摄影艺术作品
《萨姆沙》是系列作品《忽视》中的一件摄影艺术作品。该系列呈现了昆虫标本,其中大多数物种已经灭绝或极度濒危。图像使用数码相机系统与105mm微距镜头拍摄,并借助多重曝光合成功能生成高达1.85亿像素的超大文件。创作者搭建了一个小型桌面摄影棚,使这些脆弱的标本几乎无需触碰即可完成拍摄。作品以两种尺寸限量印制。其宗旨在于揭示昆虫非同寻常的美,并唤起人们对昆虫灭绝问题的关注。

Press Kit

Franz Kafka
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.
