Thomas Struth’s Paradies series, created between 2000 and 2002, explores the relationship between humans and nature through large-scale photographs of botanical gardens, parks, and tropical settings. By capturing the lush beauty of these environments and the interactions of people within them, Struth invites viewers to reflect on the balance between humanity and nature, as well as the idealized notions of paradise in contemporary society. The titles in this portfolio include Juquehy, São Francisco de Xavier, Yakushima, Daintree, Xi Shuang Banna and Yosemite National Park. – One print with a few small color irregularities, otherwise in excellent condition.
