Burnt photograph following the fire of the studio on the 6th November 1948.
Unlike Man Ray, Jahan returned to the scientific origins of the photogram: reproductions of grasses and other plants superimposed on photographs. Unexpectedly, the fire in his flat - and studio - in 1948 completed the works. The photographs in the Herbarium were partially burnt, creating a new plastic dimension of the image. Although the fire was an accident, it does not deny its contribution to Jahan's work - chance always plays a fundamental role in surrealism, after all. It is one of its fundamental elements. With the fire, the Herbarium becomes even more surreal.
