Thomas Struth’s work features in the group exhibition Civilization – Our Life in Focus at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich. Bringing together works by approximately 100 celebrated photographers, the exhibtion presents a multilayered portrait of contemporary society, drawing on both artistic and documentary approaches to the medium. Themes of family, leisure, work, and consumption are set against images of alienation, crime, environmental degradation, social fragmentation, and war. Collectively, these photographs offer a portrait of civilisation that is at once familiar and unsettling, articulated through the visual language of photography.

Archive Matrix Assembly: The Photography of Thomas Struth 1978–2018 presents the first comprehensive, systematic theory of Thomas Struth’s main body of photographic work from its beginnings in the late 1970s until his most recent work in 2018. The book presents a unique, evolutionary understanding of the work, proposing that it has established three stages of production: archive, matrix, and assembly. Together the three stages form a developmental system that characterizes the individual photographs, their relation to their subject matter, and how they form larger, significant collections of images. The book project accomplishes three main goals: it develops a comprehensive critical reading of the work, it serves as a monograph of the artist, and it provides an extensive analysis of the photographs at all stages, including the less discussed, more recent photography, which is placed on par with the earlier work for which Struth first became internationally renowned.
