Background information
"Recognizing the strange in the familiar, the present in the past, the constructed in the true - the four masterful photographers (Thomas DEMAND, Philip-Lorca DiCORCIA, Andreas GURSKY and Jeff WALL) show sections of our world in which the boundary between reality and imagination becomes blurred. From fleeting everyday scenes to enigmatic happenings to historical events, they reveal a complex and multilayered reality.
Content
In the photography book 'Made Realities. Photographs by Thomas Demand, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Andreas Gursky and Jeff Wall', the aforementioned photographers use the realism and momentariness of photography to create their idiosyncratic views of reality. What is real? They play with the viewer's perception, irritate and invite individual interpretation of what is depicted. The high-quality volume 'Made Realities. Photographs by Thomas Demand, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Andreas Gursky and Jeff Wall' presents the works of the stars from the contemporary international photography scene magnificently and in vividly narrated texts."
