THOMAS STRUTH
Bleibtreustraße 15/16, 10623 Berlin
3 March – 21 May 2022
Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to present an exhibition with new work by Thomas Struth at the gallery spaces in Bleibtreustraße 45 and Bleibtreustraße 15/16 in Berlin.
Revolving around universal questions of our time with a focus on Science, Nature and Portraiture, three major themes from Thomas Struth’s current bodies of work are shown across the two gallery locations in Bleibtreustraße.
The first-floor space in Bleibtreustraße 45 is dedicated to photographs taken at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. The world’s largest scientifc facility near Geneva carries out research into the origins of the universe with the help of particle accelerators. Struth’s interest in CERN lies in the philosophical questions, the political dimensions and the pictorial possibilities offered by advanced technology. Do these highly complex conglomerates of cables and valves bear the hope for a better future? The CERN cluster displayed here forms part of Struth’s "Nature and Politics", a body of work which he has developed since 2007, examining how ambition and human imagination become sculptural, spatial realities.
The second gallery space across the street is visible and accessible through wide shop windows. Thomas Struth displays new Family Portraits here, a subject which he has been returning to repeatedly since 1985. More recently, the period of social distancing nurtured the desire to continue working with people. The portraits reveal Struth's special interest in family life with its psychological entanglements.
