Robin Noorda en Margot van de Stolpe exposeren experimenteel fotografisch werk bij SBK locatie KNSM in Amsterdam,
waarin licht en perceptie de hoofdrol spelen.
Te zien is een deel van het samenwerkingsproject 'Ultra Vanity', waarbij de fluoriscentie van planten en bloemen in stillevens kenmerkend is, de serie herbarische fotogrammen 'Flora Imago Blond en Black' van Margot van de Stolpe en de serie 'Hyperama's', hyperbolische panorama's van Robin Noorda.

​​In May 2021 an article is published on the tropistic project 
​Flora's Ark in 'Roots' magazine Vol 18 (1) of the BGCI - Botanic Gardens Conservation International.

​​Margot van de Stolpe is a member of a group of artists of The Tropism Art & Science Foundation, established in 2010.​
​The definition of tropism in the dictionary is; the ability of an organism to direct itself to the light. As an art movement, Tropism both literally and figuratively moves in the direction of a stimulus. Tropism tries to move the observer, while the act of observing itself ​is being called into question. 

​Tropism is a philosophy that prefers to deviate from the predictable and that reacts against patterns that are endlessly repeating themselves. Renewal, transformation, changing perceptions and a world upside down, are the ultimate goals in her work. Within the tropistic movement she has been busy with patterns and structures in nature and in plantlife.
​Patterns are the foundation, the direction, the informative code along which all living things are formed. They provide growth of an organism by repetition of the fixed basic form, as in fractal geometry. The underlying structure in her work is therefore under pressure and is moulded and distorted in order to come to a new reality.'

 Patterns ensure an organism's growth by repeating fixed basic forms such as fractals. Patterns derived from nature, form the underlying structure that is under pressure and that is kneaded and schaped into a new reality with a, ​sometimes, surrealistic stratification. The patterns then loose their predictability and will start to behave in an entirely new and unique way, growing, moving, taking themselves less seriously ​and maybe exposing themselves in a promiscuous manner.

'I try to apply stratification and depth. Some parts of a photo are accentuated by using visual tools, other parts I let dissapear. I am like a composer with the photographic material and I feel like a painter making layer after layer.
Coincidence playes an important part and once in the flow it goes its own way and makes its mark.
Mirroring and reflecting is an other aspect of my work, emerging constantly, appearing to be an essential element
​in the way I express myself. As above so below it seems to be. Both in the macro as in the micro world, they mirror
​each other'.
