Thomas Struth is one of the best-known photographers to come out of
the school of Bernd and Hilla Becher. In this celebrated volume,
Struth presents a series of urban streetscapes from cities such as
Edinburgh, Lima, Pyongyang, Naples, and New York City, all taken in
similar conditions-devoid of human activity. Struth refers to these
mundane buildings, unpopulated streets and anonymous facades as
"unconscious places"-environments that are imbued with meaning only
by the viewer. Captured with exquisite technical prowess and
presented with powerful, restrained neutrality, Struth's images
allow us to fully appreciate a city's character-from its telephone
wires above to the pavement below. Renowned sociologist Richard
Sennett's illuminating essay reveals how Struth's sober, lucid
photography leads the viewer to create their own conclusions,
rather than forcing a perspective. The resulting interplay among
photographer, viewer, and landscape may hold the key to
understanding how architecture affects our daily lives.
