Artist statement
Around 1800 AD Father Constantin Keller(1778-1864) created an impressive collection of wax fruit, especially apples. Today those apples are still kept at the Admont monastery in the mountains of Austria, more famous for its spectacular library. Ogolter went to the monastery and photographed these stunning objects which feature incredible detail, wormholes, mold etc.
Today we are used to seeing very few kinds of apples in our supermarkets, as the market demands easy and streamlined production. This collection has well over one hundred kinds, many extinct today. This video unites 110 of these wax apples with their background removed and turned into a morphing Timelapse.
