This mushroom composition utilizes flatbed scanner technology combined with digital photography—what Gerliczki calls "scenography"—to capture extraordinary precision and detail impossible with traditional photography. The scanner reproduces reality with hyper-realistic clarity, revealing every texture, gill, and organic variation in freshly harvested garden mushrooms. Created during Gerliczki's daily gardening practice which "helps settle his soul," the work celebrates natural living and environmental consciousness, demonstrating how gardens reduce pollution and provide better food while connecting us to nature "right in front of us."
 
"We eat vegetables from our garden”. When Zoltan's gardening, He grows things and gain knowledge by spending time outside - which helps keep his grounded. He loves to garden every day: there is something about the dirt and growing living plants that helps to settle his soul and helps his feel alive. He learned that what we need in our lives is in nature, right in front of us. These still-life images are from his “Vegetables from my Garden” series, which focuses on how gardens help the environment by reducing air and noise pollution, filtering the groundwater, and providing better food on our tables. It’s dedicated to the natural living in the world. Every still-life picture features mushrooms or tomatoes, onions, and salads. The series was made using scenography, for which he used a flatbread scanner to create the images, combined with digital photography. He tries to keep his photography as pure as possible without post-processing. One of the most exciting things about scenography is that it is a new way to see the things around us. It's not exactly photography, but it reproduces reality with extraordinary precision!
