In his ongoing photographic series "Greenhouse," David Altrath focuses on Vienna's Palmenhaus, a stunning glass-and-steel structure built in the late 19th century. The latest chapter, part four, showcases the greenhouse's diverse climate zones and lush sensory experiences through soft-toned photographs. Altrath's work highlights the architectural elegance of the structure, inviting viewers to appreciate the balance between industrial design and organic growth. This visually rich exploration serves as both a tribute to botanical beauty and a reminder of the cultural significance of such historical landmarks.
Each section of the greenhouse hosts a distinct climate zone. Altrath's imagery captures the sensory richness of these spaces, dense foliage, filtered light, misted air, all rendered with the subtle texture of analog film.
His photos invite the viewer to linger, to notice the interplay of structure and growth, of time and temperature, reactivating the atmospheric power of the Palmenhaus.
