Herbario de una Expedición Gráfica by Valentina Monari and Felipe Celis was born from a journey between the Peninsula de la Guajira and the Paramos de Columbia and tells about seven botanical species widespread in the Colombian vegetation.
The specimens collected in these ecosystems come back to life in the pages of the book through "nature printing", a printing technique, widespread in the scientific publishing of the seventeenth century, which uses plant elements as printing matrices, generating footprints on the paper.
The book was born from the fascination for the plant world, for its shapes, for its beauty and for its incredible ability to adapt.
No plants were plucked to make this book.
