Thomas Struth's Technology-Focused Exhibition at MAST Bologna

At MAST in Bologna, a solo exhibition by Thomas Struth, born in 1954 in Geldern, Germany, is being showcased, curated by Urs Stahel. This exhibition highlights large-scale pieces that intertwine themes of science and technology with elements of nature. Struth, who studied under the Bechers, shifted his focus from black-and-white architectural photography to family portraits and nature, increasingly emphasizing technology since the mid-2010s. A pivotal visit to Cape Canaveral in 2006 motivated him to uncover hidden scenarios. The display features images of laboratory interiors and a landscape shot of the Korean sea. Identifying as an "image seeker," Struth adopts a critical perspective, expressing a stronger belief in science over politics and delving into the medical sector by visiting a Berlin hospital.
