Tom Crump’s digital photography belongs to his series “Amorphophallus titanum.” The flowering plant is part of the arum family, also described as the corpse flower. It symbolizes the contradictory nature of aesthetics, because when viewed more closely, the flower encases a scent of decay that attracts scavengers. In Crump’s visual world, seduction and decay lie close to each other. His transparent, dissolving layers focus on the amusing aspect of the aesthetic, offering and providing criticism and the corresponding taste at the same time.
