This image has been composed, recomposed and reworked on the computer by German photographer Andreas Gursky. It draws on his photographs of Oscar Niemeyer’s French Communist Party headquarters: details of the cupola, close-ups of surfaces or architectural features like those that appeared in the artist’s work in the early 1990s. The reinforcedconcrete dome, with its conical base rising to a hemispherical crown, becomes a helicoidal motif; abstract and monumental, the image is almost kaleidoscopic. Andreas Gursky searches out the distinctive signs and emblematic places of our day. His photographs document a world transformed by high-tech industry, international trade and the globalization of information and population flows.
