Thomas Struth / Unconscious Places

Publisher: Prestel Publication Year: 2020 https://www.thomasstruth32.com https://prestelpublishing.penguinrand... Thomas Struth is one of the best-known photographers to come out of the school of Bernd and Hilla Becher. He is one of Germany’s best-known contemporary photographers. His work has been widely shown in exhibitions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Whitechapel Gallery in London, and Haus der Kunst in Munich. In this celebrated volume, Struth presents a series of urban streetscapes from cities such as Edinburgh, Lima, Pyongyang, Naples, and New York City, all taken in similar conditions—devoid of human activity. Struth refers to these mundane buildings, unpopulated streets and anonymous facades as »unconscious places«—environments that are imbued with meaning only by the viewer. Captured with exquisite technical prowess and presented with powerful, restrained neutrality, Struth’s images allow us to fully appreciate a city’s character—from its telephone wires above to the pavement below. Renowned sociologist Richard Sennett’s illuminating essay reveals how Struth’s sober, lucid photography leads the viewer to create their own conclusions, rather than forcing a perspective. The resulting interplay among photographer, viewer, and landscape may hold the key to understanding how architecture affects our daily lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you enjoy the content of my channel and want to help it grow, feel free to support: https://buymeacoffee.com/aquietplacef...
