Electric Plants

In a never before seen technique, artist Robert Buelteman sends 80,000 volts through flowery subjects and then literally paints photographs of the outcome. Using roses, petunias, and even cannabis, Robert spent 10 years - and a gruelling average of 60 hours-per-week - to produce just 80 photos. Working in complete darkness, he places a chosen plant onto a metal board which he then passes the electrical surge through. Emiting radiation invisible to the naked eye, the image is captured by passing a fibre optic cable back-and-forth over the plant. The cable emits a beam of white light that is just the size of a human hair and whatever the miniscule torch-beam touches, transfers the image onto film. Buelteman has written about the project and the techniques he uses in his book Signs of Life. © Barcroft Media

Could these be the strangest pictures of living plants ever seen before?
