Part of Testino’s ongoing ‘A Beautiful World’ project, which explores cultural traditions and symbols of people around the globe, Cactus (VI) reflects on the artist’s Peruvian origin. Displayed before neutral toned backgrounds, the cacti, which dominate Peru’s high-altitude plateaus, appear together like subjects in a portrait studio. Once grouped together, the individual plants in Cactus (VI) appear to be opposites in dialogue. This setting anthropomorphises them: delicate and contained or animated and expansive. In the manner of Irving Penn’s famous pictures of flowers, the dialogue between each cactus serves to enhance the essence of the individual whilst emphasising a sense of natural community.
