The portfolio of 3 consists of "Brooklyn Botanic Garden X" as well as "Dusseldorf III" and "Hofgarten Dusseldorf II."
The work is part of Joerg Lohse's ongoing "Nature at Work" series, which captures unexpected juxtapositions of nature and the urban environment. Lohse's series of photographs crop their subjects much in the same way that the city encloses nature within manicured public gardens and parks. Nature is depicted as controlled, made accessible to a city's population. Plate glaass and an industrial vent frame a Chinese Elm, the well-kept tree itself a representation of mastery over the natural world. Landscape is both literally and figuratively interiorized; it is kept at a distance from park and garden visitors, made safe and unthreatening.
