London-based artist Zadok Ben David created this awesome installation using 12,000 cut steel botanical specimens modeled from old textbook illustrations, each embedded in a thin layer of sand. Upon first encountering the sprawling array of plants they appear to be completely black, thus the installation’s title: Blackfield. However when viewed from the opposite side, a field of black turns into a wall of color. A circular version of Blackfield is currently on display at Artclub 1563 in Seoul through February 2012.
