Catalogue Note
Gursky's world, of course, is an invention. Part of its authority rests upon the imagination and skill with which the artist has deployed his creative license. The other part rests upon the recognition that the work elicits from the very observers it so resolutely excludes. It is Gursky's fiction, but it's our world.
