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.

“Someone once described me as a non-destructive vandal which I quite like. Within the confines of a camera viewfinder I transform known, and some not so well known landmarks around the world with bits of crafted black card.” – Rich McCor (aka Paperboyo).

French model Simone in the bubble, Bar du Baguette, Saint Germain en Laye, France. Photo by Melvin Sokolsky, from his Bubble Series, 1963.
“The bubble in the series is made of Plastivew and is composed of two hemispheres with a 1/8-inch crack to allow for breathing room. Then the bubble was hung from a very thin, but strong cable. (It could have also held up a Cadillac.) This was probably one of the easiest shoots I’ve ever done in my life because there were no hair or makeup interruptions. No one could touch her in the bubble, so it was just her and I creating the images.” – Melvin Sokolsky
