This is a black-and-white picture of three plants. The top and bottom show long, skinny stems with lots of tiny ridges. The middle one looks like a dried-up plant with sharp, pointy bits sticking out. These images are super close-up. The artist used a camera to make them look almost like metal or stone. Want to see more? Look up Blossfeldt, Karl.
