Spohler photographed sites of plant cultivation around the world, capturing fruits, vegetables, ornamental trees, [seed labs, greenhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydroponics-garden) and [artificial irrigation systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biotechnology-platform). Spohler's photographs depict the precisely organized geometric configurations of modern-day farming as bizarre, futuristic landscapes. The 'subjects' of the photos look like works of science fiction but are completely real. The title of the series, 'The Third Day,' is a biblical reference to the day on which seed-bearing plants were created. Spohler's work depicts a world where the plants that produce our food look completely divorced from nature due to human intervention in the form of [genetic engineering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardyn-studio-2) and other forms of control over plant life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artificial Agriculture Systems:** There is a trend towards using artificial irrigation systems and precision farming techniques to increase crop yields and reduce resource use in agriculture - **Ornamental Agriculture and Fruit Art:** As people become more interested in food and wellness, there is an opportunity to highlight the beauty of fruits and vegetables through innovative shows, displays, and experiences - **Genetically Modified Foods:** The increasing demand for food security has given rise to the production of genetically modified foods to create higher crop yields and better resistance to pests and diseases ### Sectors Adopting This - **Agriculture:** There is a need for increased focus on precision agriculture to maximize crop yields and increase efficiency in farming - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can create installations and exhibits that highlight the beauty and diversity of plant life and educate people on the importance of sustainable agriculture practices - **Genetic Engineering:** The field of genetic engineering is experiencing growth as farmers and agro-businesses look for ways to increase crop yields and reduce the impact of pests and diseases on their crops ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Architecture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetment-vegetable-cultivator.md) - [Industrial Architecture-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-archaeology.md) - [Nature-Inspired Design Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-2.md) - [Stylish Indoor Hydroponic Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folia-origin.md) - [Fruit-Inspired Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitinspired-furniture-collection.md) - [Furniture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-garden-system.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Farming-Inspired Cocktail Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agriculture-by-little-red-door.md)
