SUMMER TIME - LOOK AROUND 7



San Zaccaria, Venice (by Thomas Struth) & Other Installation Shots

I have read several Thomas Struth’s photo books, however visiting the show in White Chapel is a totally different experience. Needless to say, the size and the precise printing quality of the works make a strong visual impact and embodied affect. The sublime was conveyed well by the size the work and space of the gallery. The edit and curation is very interesting, with 2 rooms with different themes interacting with one work to another. Struth chose some cliché vernacular theme such as family portrait and travelling photos but created strong conceptual works. His approach is very cool, engineering and methodological. I have planned a re-visit, well, hopefully.
