Photographs by Daniel Gordon. Pop-ups by Simon Arizpe
Publisher: Aperture Photo Foundation
“For loved ones who lack a green thumb, but are still eager to jump on the houseplant bandwagon, this new pop-up volume makes for the perfect gift. Inspired by a surge in online discussions of indoor gardening, photographer Daniel Gordon has cut up found imagery of houseplants to create sculptural collages, mixing realistic and fantastical colors for a playful effect. These have been transformed into six intricate pop-ups by the award-winning paper engineer Simon Arizpe. The results are joyful, spectacular and sturdier than the hardiest perennial.”

“This highly collectible, limited-edition pop-up book is a work of art in itself, rendering Daniel Gordon’s sculptural forms into a new layer of materiality and animating them in Simon Arizpe’s pop-up performance. The book consists of six works in pop-up form, some featuring simple plants, others unfolding more elaborate tableaux.”
