Campaign "Flower Art"

Creative Makers: Flower Art

Brands come to life thanks to the people who design them, provide inspiration and interact with them: Creative Makers. And the kitchen is a place that unleashes creativity. Our new campaign explores how these factors work together.

Meet: the botanical set designer and the photo artist

For the first motif, “Flower Art”, we asked photo artist Claus Friedrich Rudolph and botanical set designer Valentina Teinitzer to combine flower art with the kitchen. The result is an exciting contrast between precision and technology on the one hand and vitality and opulence on the other.

It’s all about essence, in art as in the kitchen

“Flowers, plants, fruit – everything I work with is also used in the kitchen,” she explains, in reference to what connects her artwork to next125. She goes on to describe how her installation illustrates the ways in which nature emerges in the kitchen whenever we work with natural ingredients, and how we engage with it in many different ways. This can be either consciously or unconsciously, through our senses of smell, taste, sight and touch. It’s all about essence, in art as in the kitchen.
 

I translate deep feelings into something visible. Plants are the perfect medium for doing this.

Making essences visible

Claus Friedrich Rudolph calls what he sees right before his eyes a “fragrant cloud”. For him, photography is about transforming the essence of things into something visible. According to him, his art simply involves “screwing” his imagination to something fixed – just like the camera on the tripod – and then waiting. Because: “Everything comes from within.”

 

Capturing that which is ephemeral by nature.
