Lilium martagon (2023) Photograph by Cornelia Weber

This print is part of the limited edition series “Remember them!”.
Inspired by the rich tradition of botanical illustration, this series evolves as an ongoing exploration. Botanical illustrations have historically enabled science to access the fleeting subjects of the plant world, independent of time and place. Their precise depictions often served as substitutes for the actual plant—whether because specimens originated from distant regions and were not accessible for direct study, or because they were intended to be shared for scientific research, education, and a broader public beyond their natural life cycle.
In this series, plants are presented against a neutral background, with their botanical name, location, and date of collection recorded within the image. The focus is not on botanical accuracy, but on the subjectively assigned documentary value of each image. This approach does not seek to overcome the transience or geographical specificity of plants; rather, it follows a subjective dramaturgy of remembrance.
In this way, the series reflects the ongoing loss of biodiversity and condenses the global threat of climate change into the microcosm of the individually experienced garden space. What was once a scientific-artistic tool for objective representation becomes a subjective photographic laboratory of memory.
