Magers
present an exhibition of new works by Andreas Gursky in Berlin. The
series of
works represents an important new development in Gursky’s practice in

artist reassesses the way he works with photography. Like many of

Horn of Africa to the far left, a tip of Australia to the far right –
and there

representation
on the monitor as a picture.

Many of these images are familiar and universal: snapshots, crime-scene photos, advertising images, family pictures, travel albums, and pin-up posters. Serving as bot
