With muted colors and a patina reminiscent of 1950s studio photos, everything brings us into a dimension of celebrating success and the magnificent opportunities offered by a \u2018green revolution\u2019 that transforms traditional agriculture\u2014understood as a minimal practice reliant on natural cycles\u2014into massive production with increasingly advanced techniques and technologies.<br \/>\nAnd advanced is the model of the <em>New Farmer<\/em> that Eesily presents to us, a sophistication that should be interpreted with all shades of meaning, both positive and negative: elegant, refined, polished&#8230; but also altered, counterfeit, manipulated.<br \/>\nEesily\u2019s series moves and guides us along this dual track, captivating us with aesthetically pleasing, seductive, reassuring, and promising images of a world where pumpkins and cabbages surround us in a harmonious and joyful dance. At the same time, it subtly, yet clearly, induces doubt. These vegetables, so common that they require little scrutiny or questioning, populate a scene that is unsettling and artificial, almost sinister in its perfection.<\/p>\n<p>With an evident and equally ironic reference to the FARM Security Administration \u2018operation,\u2019 Eesily imagines and constructs a contemporary campaign to map pseudo-rural\u2014and thus unknown\u2014areas of today, those that exist exclusively in technological environments. Contemporary artificial worlds are not those of \u2018machines\u2019 but more invisible and pervasive, the result of a fusion between human imagination and combinatorial calculation. The question is no longer to whom or what to believe\u2014photography, science, nature&#8230;\u2014but whether we still have the space, as human beings, to exercise and develop that distinctly human capacity for critical thinking. Or, at the very least, to not suspend it and risk finding ourselves searching for children under cabbages&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The artwork is part of the exhibition \u201cBruce Eesly \u2013 New Farmer\u201d hosted at Croisi\u00e8re for the 2024 edition of the <em>Rencontres d\u2019Arles<\/em> festival, July 1\u2013September 29, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Eesly<br \/>\n<em>Peter Trimmel wins first prize for his UHY fennel at the Kooma Giants Show in Limburg, 1956<\/em>, <em>New Farmer<\/em> series, 2023<br \/>\nCourtesy of the artist<\/p>\n<p>11\/09\/24<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A \u2018living nature\u2019 is what Peter Trimmel proudly showcases: the vegetable that this well-dressed and groomed twelve-year-old holds like a trophy is a decidedly oversized version of a common fennel.
