About the author
Dennis Duijnhouwer is a photographer from Amsterdam who’s known for his street photography. About seven years ago he took his first picture of an artificial plant. Something just intrigued him about it, the way it just sat there. He started to wonder. Why do people have artificial flowers, and why do they exist?
Each time he spotted an artificial flower, he took a picture. He saw them in empty staircases, in restrooms, a taxi, a club. Sad, lonely ones hidden in a dark corner, or ones proudly presented on the table in the middle of the room. Sometimes they served religious purposes, sometimes aesthetic. Some people may call them ugly, but to Dennis they are more. He pays attention to the details, and sees things most people don’t see. A secret life.
Lonely flowers hidden in a dark corner, or ones proudly presented
