Citrus 3
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper
How is nature portrayed in advertisements? Brun asked those questions as he took these pictures of several orange trees using a technical approach inspired by local orange juice commercials. Here he explores how we extract reality from nature to create a dreamy clinical aspect of it. “To become a commercial product, nature is sublimate to a point where the subject disappears in profit of its pure formal aspect.”

"I want to see something dreamy with the familiar, the everyday life and nature. I want to express the dream of a child hunting a shooting star.”
