Phenotype functions as a comprehensive survey of the Lempert's expansive analog black-and-white photographic output, compiling over two decades of observation into a single volume. Acting as a definitive compendium that accompanied his major museum exhibitions, the monograph gathers hundreds of images spanning flora, fauna, insects, and human artifacts, arranged in precise visual sequences and typological grids.
The visual structure of the book mirrors his scientific background as a biologist, treating the page spread as an ecosystem of subtle cross-references, structural rhymes, and behavioral patterns. By utilizing unpretentious gelatin silver prints characterized by soft focus and delicate grain, Lempert avoids sterile taxonomy in favor of a gently reverential, poetic cataloging of life.
