Places of Power

to Anasazi ruins,
and more unusual,

seen as beautiful forms.

Andreas Gursky
Andreas Gursky captures the defining synthetic spaces of
the contemporary capitalistic
society such as stock markets, stores, arenas, hotel lobbies and factories
in extremely large, detailed, information packed, textured,
images. His thought-provoking
work has a great range including landscape and the human
figure (crowds), but since he is best known for urbanscapes, I've
placed this link here.
This book, the catalog of his 2002 retrospective at the
New York's Moma, is the best overview of his work.
