A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
One Flower One Leaf is a workshop by Martina della Valle dedicated to Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement
One Flower One Leaf is a workshop led by artist Martina della Valle, focusing on Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement.
After a brief theoretical introduction, the workshop will continue with the collection of wild plants and flowers from the surrounding environment. Participants will then be invited to create floral compositions under the guidance of Japanese master Satoko Hatayama. Martina della Valle will photograph these compositions, producing a new series of still-life images that will form a limited photographic edition.
The workshop will explore themes such as: the study of natural environments within urban contexts, human intervention on vegetation, and the ability of Ikebana art to highlight details that are usually considered “minor.” The photographic documentation will provide an effective portrait of the urban environment, which will be encapsulated through the plant compositions.
The workshop, supported by the Amsterdam Flower School, will take place on September 18, from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, as part of UNSEEN Amsterdam 2018.
