His photographs are of an old-fashioned beauty and at the same time radically contemporary. Flower by flower Bas Meeuws composes his floral still lifes, but digitally: the basis for Meeuws' monumental works are digital photographs of individual flowers.
Through an interdisciplinary lens, this book examines how contemporary photography captures shifting attitudes towards Dutch land, water, history, and identity, in a context of the Netherlands at a crossroads of industrial globalization and climate vulnerability.
