In this Slow Art video, Roger Fenton’s Fruit and Flowers becomes a quiet meditation on abundance and impermanence. The rich still-life, grapes, lilies, roses, a wine goblet fills the frame in glowing sepia tones. Each carefully arranged object seems poised on the verge of spilling into view, a silent ballet of ripeness and decay.
