The stunning Acid Bloom series by Mika Ninagawa showcased in this book features luscious, lavish photographs of flowers, trees and bugs, sometimes macros, sometimes landscapes. Her unique use of saturated colours –beautifully printed here–, is very distinct from the artist’s style, also as seen in her other books “Liquid Dreams”, or “Sugar and Spice”. “For me, the process of photographing a flower is something more, something that goes beyond the flower. When I’m photographing well, I am always floating on another plane — a place between this world and the world beyond”.
