Last week, The New York Times reported on the effect Brexit will have on Royal FloraHolland, a Dutch marketplace where 12 billion flowers and plants are sold each year, more than a third of the worldwide flower trade: “From greenhouses in Kenya to auction houses in the Netherlands to florists in London, the shipment of flowers highlights Brexit’s potential disruption to trade.”

Taryn Simon’s 2015 series “Paperwork and the Will of Capital” examines the symbolism of floral arrangements in global power balances and political agreements. Each photograph represents an “impossible bouquet,” a man-made fantasy of flowers that could never bloom naturally in the same season and geographic location—now made possible by the global consumer market. The concept of the "impossible bouquet" emerged in Dutch still-life painting, parallel to the country’s seventeenth-century economic boom and the development of modern capitalism. In a haunting connection, Simon’s work, which was conceived and executed in the years that led up to the momentous Brexit referendum of June, 2016, was created using flowers sourced from the very same market, on the outskirts of Amsterdam.
