Andreas Gursky at the Hayward Gallery

An artist working in photography, Andreas Gursky produces large prints using a digital editing process incorporating multiple images of the same subject. Disrupting conventions of perspective and proportion, his photographs immerse the viewer in the contemporary world of globalisation, architecture, commerce and travel. These pictures resemble the scale of paintings while pulling us into a dizzying experience where apparent 'photographic' facts are often invented and manipulated. The power of these artworks lies in the meeting of familiarity and oddity.
