"This book brings together sixteen photographs taken by Thomas Struth in Israel and the occupied West Bank in 2009, 2011 and 2014. Struth continued his practice of creating singular images, each in one of the strictly segregated domains he has developed throughout his career: street photographs, portraits, landscapes, and high-tech photographs. Each image carries the enduring complexity and visual distilled expression of the human experience for which Struth is known.

Addressing the pure diversity and the quiddité of the inhabited world, he attempts to represent what he called "a particle of the region's conflict," to photograph, fragment by fragment, the political and social landscape in conflict. Ulrich Loock proposes in his essay in the book that this series of images is unified by "layers of antitheses [that] reveal themselves as a matrix traversing the work," while Struth tries to grasp the circumscribed reality of a region where coexistence has failed, a reality inaccessible to photography.

In some respects, this extraordinary set of works diverges from Struth’s traditional practice: all exhibitions relate to a single geographic and political reality, as if Struth found all aspects of his photographic vision in one place, and as if Israel and the West were a geographic container for the breadth of the condition of humanity. The German photographer Thomas Struth (born 1954) is internationally recognized for his extensive body of work, including photographs of cities, landscapes, portraits, and architectural interiors.

He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1973-1980) and, during that time, he was the first artist in residence at the P.S.1 studios in Long Island City. From 1993 to 1996, he was the first professor of photography at the newly established Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe. He has exhibited worldwide, and a large number of monographs of his work have been published, including Thomas Struth: Photographs 1978-2010 (2010) and Thomas Struth: Unconscious Places (2012).

The German photographer’s contribution to the project This Place: Thomas Struth presents 16 images from the West Bank taken in 2009, 2011 and 2014, ranging between portraits, landscapes, technological installations, and marks of clashes in the cities, rendering fragment by fragment the human experience in a conflict area, "
