The Petunia Carnage

Inspired by an article by Kelly Servick, How the transgenic petunia carnage of 2017 began published in Science Magazine, the project is a story composed of 90 photographs and poses a reflection on what is natural and what is artificial, what is real or fake, synthetic or genuine. A dichotomy that involves not only contemporary science, but photography itself since its origins.
