Anna Ridler and the price of peonies.

Peonies are romantic and ephemeral. They are also a lucrative commodity. This paradox prompted Anna Ridler to excavate the social, industrial, economic and environmental factors hidden behind the flowers we take for granted in florists and supermarkets.

Price Per Stem is a series of 25 unique artworks. Each one comprises a paired physical and digital element.

The physical element entails 56 photographs of real peonies, taken by Anna in her studio. Once printed, each peony is annotated with its market price.

These photographs form the basis of the corresponding digital element – a single imagined peony in video form, generated from the 56 real peonies. To create her digital flowers, Anna created an intricate model based on data and events that influence the price of peonies, from fluctuations in weather to holidays like Valentine’s and Mother’s Day associated with surges in demand.

To complete the digital element, Anna traced choice moments from each peony and layered them over fluctuating prices. In this final step, the peonies are reconnected with the physical world.
