- Inhalt: This catalogue accompanies a major museum exhibition of the work of celebrated German photographer, Thomas Struth. The touring show focuses on photographs Struth has made since his last major retrospective, which covered the years 1978-2010. The catalogue comprises 65 works (plus details) and includes all of the 30 works in the exhibition to create the most comprehensive book of Struth’s recent work.00Thomas Struth is renowned for his practice of creating singular images, each within strictly segregated subject fields: architecture, portraiture, landscape and, most recently, sites of technological and scientific research. Nature & Politics brings together various of these diverse strands of Struth’s enquiry to present a significant monograph that explores in depth each of these themes, whilst also elaborating the interstices between them.00In recent years technology and the constructed landscape have become overarching subjects for Struth. Photographing at sites of new technology – techno-industrial and scientific research spaces, including physics institutes, pharmaceutical plants, space stations, dockyards, nuclear facilities and operating theatres – he has focused on machines which are some of the transformative instruments of our contemporary world and edifices of technological production where the heights of human knowledge are enacted, debated and advanced. These works explore the aesthetics of innovation and experimentation through the recording of structural complexities and allude to the hidden structures of control and influence exerted by these advanced technologies. 0Exhibition: Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany (04.03-29.05.2016) / Martin-Gropius Bau, Berlin, Germany () / High Museum, Atlanta, USA () / St Louis Art Museum, St Louis, USA ()
