Andreas Gursky, Oceans series, 2010
Very big prints show the earth's oceans. The parts of land surrounding the water are the continents, but they are arranged formally rather than geographical. The images are composed of high-resolution satellite images. Satellites are not interested in oceans, therefore the oceans where filled in digitally. The image has both the nature of a picture, a data-package and a painting.
