Andreas Gursky’s photos deal with zeitgeist phenomena, creating condensed witnesses of particular moments in time. He achieves this both with digitally unmanipulated photographic works that permeate his entire oeuvre and with computer-based image processing, which he uses to merge several moments into one piece of work. It is an almost cinematic approach.
Andreas Gursky was born in Leipzig in 1955. He studied at Folkwang University of the Arts (GHS) in Essen from 1978 to 1981 and at Dusseldorf Art Academy from 1981 to 1987 under Prof. Bernd Becher. In the 2010 summer term, he was appointed professor of liberal arts at Dusseldorf Art Academy.
