Photographer Charlotte Schousboe works with living things, fruits and vegetables, and their slow transformations – sometimes over several months. Through these everyday materials, she explores the cycles of life, the moments when form dissolves to reinvent itself anew.
Each image becomes a trace, an imprint, organic memory. A portrait - not of a living being, but of matter that continues to tell something, even when it seems to fade away. This is contemporary fine art, edited in a limited series of 30 prints. Each work has a title and caption, displayed next to the print. The public can have fun guessing the original vegetable – it's not always obvious! The captions are fragments of life, thoughts of the day, what the vegetable tells me at the moment of its transformation. The prints are made on Hahnemühle William Turner, a 100% cotton paper with a matte and slightly grainy texture, almost textile-like to the touch, a surface that catches light and reveals the most subtle details. It gives the images a soft yet deep presence, almost tactile – as if the matter continued to breathe through the print. You can come and enjoy this exhibition at the Maison du Jardinage et du Compostage until December 2026.
