Second Nature

“…in “Second Nature” the artist trivialises the sublime in nature. These are black-and-white photos of individual blooms and grasses that have been spread out dramatically on pedestals: symbols of beauty and transience. The pictures are mounted on flexible aluminium rods, with a fan providing a spring wind and making them dance. It is the decadent flowers of evil that Creimer gets to wave helplessly: the punchy assemblage could also be called “rock my horticulture” and is a characteristic example of Georgia Creimer’s artistic practice of orientating herself on life itself and with a light hand arranging reality as an artefact. For each task she finds the individual, specific and unused form of representation as in the present case the radical chic of Nature Vivante.”

Quote: Brigitte Huck, from "Georgia Creimer“, magazine Kunstforum – Das Gartenarchiv, vol. 146, p.70, 1999
