Alma is a collection of works by German artists Philipp Gaithers and Niklas Hauser. Working with photography and prints, they explore visual expression that lies somewhere between documentation and reconstruction. This project uncovers traces of diversity and time in the familiar fruit of apples. In this work, they collected a wide variety of apples, including some that are disappearing, and photographed them using different film and techniques to capture their unique colors, textures, and even signs of aging. By painstakingly visualizing shapes and expressions forgotten in the shadow of homogenized distribution, the work raises questions about the inherent richness of nature and the aesthetic sense that has been selectively adopted by culture. This book intersects scientific observation and a poetic gaze, transforming everyday fruit into a vessel of memory.
