August Sander and Thomas Struth

Landscapes

In the exhibition “Landscapes”, seven large-format colour photographs from Thomas Struth's Paradis’ series, created between 1998 and 2001, are brought into dialogue with August Sander's landscape photographs, which were created between 1906 and 1953 in parallel with his major project “People of the 20th Century”. The juxtaposition of the different artistic positions can mutually highlight the unique characteristics of the landscape photographs conceived in series by both artists.
