Ewelina Bialoszewska's Growing Album is a unique photo book that embeds seeds within its biodegradable pages, allowing viewers to plant the entire book to grow actual plants. The pages are made from old maps and newspaper clippings, giving them a personal touch. As the images in the book correspond to the seeds embedded, users can expect to grow plants similar to those depicted. The transfer printing process used gives the images a faded appearance, symbolizing the transient nature of memories while providing nutrients during the paper's biodegradation.
Ewelina Bialoszewska embeds seeds into her homemade photo book, known as the Growing Album, enabling viewers to plant and grow the album after use.
The project features biodegradable paper that combines photography with agriculture, allowing the entire book to be planted in soil to grow matching plants.
Images on the seed paper are created using transfer printing techniques, resulting in a faded effect that symbolizes how memories fade over time.
As the paper biodegrades, it provides nutrients for sprouting seeds, which take weeks to months to grow, depending on plant species.
