Flower(s) — Vol. 1 (I wonder whose skin this crimson flower will touch) is a series of books about flowers, by Teresa Freitas. One country, one flower, one book.

I WONDER WHOSE SKIN THIS CRIMSON FLOWER WILL TOUCH is the first volume in a collection devoted to flowers. For this first edition, Teresa turns to the safflower in Japan (Yamagata prefecture). Working first as a documentarian, the photographer has spent several years on flowers, on the trades that revolve around these delicate plants, and on the people who grow them. The book presented here is composed like a poem — more abstract, more silent — in order to convey a particular mood and atmosphere.

TERESA FREITAS (Lisbon, 1990) is a Portuguese photographer and colourist who blends street, documentary and fine art. A researcher and an active student of colour.

Forewords by Inès Longevial (painter), Carolin Ruggaber (floral artist) and Danielle Demetriou (writer).
