Thomas Struth

Audience 10 (galleria Dell'accademia), Florenz

A large-scale photograph capturing visitors gathered in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, their gazes directed toward unseen masterworks beyond the frame. Struth turns the camera on the viewers themselves, transforming the act of looking into the subject of the work and blurring the boundary between observer and observed. The image invites reflection on how we engage with art, culture, and the shared human experience of standing before great works.
