EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Holger Droste presents a thought-provoking still life that delves into the realm of the unknown. Titled "Against Vampires," this image is a testament to the artist's unique ability to weave together seemingly disparate elements into a cohesive and hauntingly beautiful composition. At its center, a cluster of garlic bulbs sits atop a worn wooden table, their papery skins curled back like tiny umbrellas. The pungent aroma of these ancient cloves has long been associated with warding off the undead, and here they take on an almost ritualistic quality. Surrounding them are various vegetables - onions, carrots, and potatoes - their textures and forms blending seamlessly into the shadows. Droste's use of light is masterful, casting deep creases in the wood grain and imbuing each vegetable with an otherworldly presence. The overall effect is one of abstraction, as if we're gazing upon some ancient artifact from another era. This sense of mystery is further heightened by the photographer's decision to render everything in monochrome tones, stripping away any distractions to focus our attention on the essence of these humble ingredients. Shot in Dortmund, Germany, "Against Vampires" invites us to ponder not only our relationship with food but also our deepest fears and superstitions. Is it possible that something as mundane as garlic can hold such power? Droste's work encourages us to question what lies just beyond our everyday reality - or perhaps even within ourselves - where darkness lurks beneath every surface."
