  • Andreas Gursky September 12–November 14, 2020 Sprüth Magers, Berlin
    Press Release Andreas Gursky September 12–November 14, 2020 Sprüth Magers, Berlin Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present a substantial exhibition of new photographs by Andreas Gursky, his first new body of work in almost three years, in which he takes up a range of themes that he has investigated for decades. Despite the continuity in theme and subject matter—our built environment, humankind’s impact on the natural world—the new pictures embed his analyses in current events, offering altered settings and situations to explore. Rhine III (2018) revisits his important work Rhine II (1999)—the dimensions, setting and composition of both are all almost identical. And yet, just twenty years later, the mood is drastically altered. The drought of summer 2018 reduced the river to a record low, and the new picture offers a dystopian vision of the once flourishing river landscape. Cruise (2020) also brings to mind an important earlier work, Paris, Montparnasse (1993). The same grid-like structure appears, but instead of a large apartment building, here there are hundreds of windows on the side of an enormous cruise ship. As with the Paris picture, Cruise shows a human environment atomized into a modernist architectural grid. Politik II (2020) directly follows Gursky's work Rückblick (2015), also included in the exhibition, to create a new series that looks at political structures. Over a period of several months, Gursky closely observed the activities of the members of parliament in the German Bundestag. Politik II features thirteen politicians in animated conversations, the figures filling the entire width of the picture.

    DIGITAL STITCHING 175 B D I G I TA L STITCHING 1 ANDREAS GURSKY’S EXPANDED REALITIES An oriented reception “Although he has occasionally used a computer to help him make im- ages, this is in order only to recreate an image that he has seen and not to create something unseeable. Computers can knit together an image too panoramic for a camera lens to capture.” Fiona Bradley’s statement in the introduction of the catalogue for the 1995 exhibition Andreas Gursky, Images at the Tate Gallery Liverpool in 199561 clearly shows a rather common historiographical tendency, which interprets Gursky’s digital imaging techniques as mechanisms that allow him to show a certain pre-existing reality impossible to capture with a con- ventional photographic device, using a tool in order to transfer a men- tal into a physical image. Incidentally, this statement suggests that Gursky does not circumvent the conventional idea of photographic depiction, as the truth claim of the photographic is not impaired. “The [digital] montage doesn’t falsify anything,” Martin Henschel further claims,62 in an important monograph on the artist, introducing the idea of falsification, unavoidably attached to the notion of photographic truth. Stefan Gronert, one of the specialists of Düsseldorf photography, concurrently argues in an exhibition catalogue on Thomas Demand, Edward Ruscha and Andreas Gursky, that the Düsseldorf photogra- pher guides the viewer’s gaze toward something that is pre-existent in 61 Andreas Gursky.

Made between 2006 and 2009—a financially tumultuous period when the collapse of the US housing market would precipitate what was known as the Great Recession—the images depict suburban landscapes populated by immigrant day laborers. In treating these sites as staged fictions, Sultan introduces visual and narrative ambiguities, which, I argue, reveal the complex underpinnings of suburbia’s social and aesthetic construction. Focusing on Creek, Santa Rosa (2009) as an exemplary work from the series, the paper traces the narrative anomalies of the picture, alongside the technical specificities of the photograph’s production, in order to present an allegorical framework through which the larger socio-economic conditions of labor and the fragile economies of home might newly be addressed.
