Living Things More Than 2,000 Years Old - Photos by Rachel Sussman

Ryan Nance April 16, 2014

Rachel Sussman‘s Oldest Living Things in The World Book is the result of her near decade long efforts, alongside biologists, which took her around the world and into some of the harshest and remotest climates to document living things that have lived continuously for more than 2,000 years.

The book, which is a passionate and insightful melding of art, science, and travelogue, includes 124 photographs, 30 essays, infographics and forewords by Hans-Ulrich Obrist and Carl Zimmer, all centered around her quest to capture and share the scientific knowledge that we have discovered about these temporal giants.

There is also at the end of this post a great Creative Mornings talk that Sussman gave about the project while she was in the middle of it (Nov. 2010).

Right at the edge where science breaks through into art, these images have had their colors modified to allow for structural differences to be visible, but result in stunning images on their own.
