Kudzu

From The Kudzu Project, photography by Helene Schmitz, 2012.

Helene Schmitz began documenting kudzu while working on a field study in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, to investigate the effects of its ruinous nature in the summer of 2012. Each black and white frame produced took hours of preparation in the sweltering southern heat using a special large format camera.
