Portfolio of 70 photographs // Flora Industrialis by Vik Muniz is a striking portfolio of 70 photographs, with each piece depicting botanical imagery in a hyper-realistic style. The set includes photographs of various flowers and plants, meticulously arranged and presented against soft, textured backgrounds. The attention to detail in the depiction of these organic forms, such as bright red flowers, soft pink petals, and even a pair of bananas, blurs the line between nature and industrialization, as suggested by the title. Each image is paired with a small, metallic plate, giving the photographs a sense of categorization or display reminiscent of scientific documentation. Muniz’s work often explores themes of perception, and here, the viewer is invited to reflect on the intersection between nature and human-made processes in an industrial world.

What is photorealism?
Photorealism is a genre of art or artistic movement that involves drawing, painting, and other graphic media in which the artist carefully studies a photograph and attempts to reproduce it as realistically as possible in another medium. While the term can broadly describe any artwork created in this manner, it specifically refers to a group of painters and paintings in the U.S. art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
