Since 2017 Ingar Krauss has portrayed sugar beets in their individual form. As in his still-life book 39 Bilder of 2016, he also stages the sugar beets in natural light against a dark background, photographs them analogue in black-and-white and reduces them to the essence of their appearance. Over the years a typology of this Beta Vulgaris has arisen. His sugar-beet physiognomies let the cultivated plant appear in simple dignity and melancholy alike.
