This photo is part of the In-Defense series, an investigation into the defense strategies of plants and their ability to wound. Some plants become warriors, hardening parts of themselves by turning leaves into thorns. In this image, bramble leaves stand out as symbolic figures of two bats, portents of an unknown threat. This photo was taken in the field with natural light and no plants were cut. Handmade in the photographer's darkroom, quality print on fiber. The artwork is not framed, but is installed by hand on a 30x40 cm (1,18x1,57 Inches) wide Carson museum passepartout. Front: signed with edition number on acid-free ink backing.
 Verso: signed, dated and inscribed with title in pencil.

Francesco Mussida is an Italian photographer with deep knowledge in silver gelatin printing. His works on plants reflect deep attention to the way nature expresses its language through forms, movements and propagations. For these works he chose the form of the portrait as a method of all-encompassing observation towards light, subject and air. Each portrait is made in the field with the precise intention of respecting environmental influences. He chose a totally analog approach, using exclusively vintage cameras and following the methods of manual processing of film development and printing. The mission behind this choice is to preserve a natural space between observer and observed subject, avoiding any kind of digital interpretation and always keeping involved natural variables such as light, time and emotions. Since 2016 he has been teaching film development and analog printing techniques and runs a blog entirely dedicated to analog culture www.stampaanalogica.it
