New York photographer Arne Svenson is known (or infamous) for
his off-kilter deadpan images. Based on a innate sense of
curiosity, Svenson's work is conceptual in nature. His most
renown series, Las Vegas, is an ongoing fascination with the
convention capital, its over-embellishment and fantastical
flamboyance. In the group of work that followed the birth of
the Las Vegas series, Svenson found himself intrigued by the
process of nature. In this visual experiment he illustrated
his attempt to alter/interfere/manipulate the growth process
of flora and fauna by severing & then suturing domesticated
botanicals, from lilies to leaf lettuce. Following the
untitled botanical series, Svenson photographed the anomalous
clinical objects of the Mütter Museum—another project
illustrating his awe of organic deviation.<-- back
