After a welcome and a short introduction, the audio guide to the ANDREAS GURSKY exhibition provides an insight into the early life and roots of the photo artist. Subsequently, his working methods as well as thematic focuses will be presented and made comprehensible by means of selected works. The artist himself will also have his say, explaining what prompted certain works and the technical means he uses to realize his ideas.

The audio guide was made possible with the support of the NEUSTART funding program of the Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien.
