Struth explores the construction of the built environment and authenticity in his vast urban landscapes. His fascination with metaphors of human progress and questions regarding human achievement are explored within the context of the representation of science, industry and technology. Since 2007, these formally elegant pictures contain all-over compositions which are almost sculptural in their depictions. Inquiries into unseen backdrops of our contemporary reality, they represent hidden truths within the contours of space flight, industrial, nuclear and energy production, medical research, turbine halls, A.I., robotics, particle physics, and more recently, inquiries into conservation and the adaptability of wildlife.
