Andreas Gursky

Here is a picture by Andreas Gursky, I couldn't find further information on the photograph.
With an omineus perspective Gursky captures an artistic rendering of some sort of crowd.  An arrangement is brought forth, people are looking away, there aren't many straight lines, just people. Although there might be the possibility Gursky saw a pattern, a shift from dark to light back to dark as the details fade into a smog. The technique would lead me to believe this was a crop of a wide angle shot, noticing distortion which on a 16:9 ratio could be cropped to hide the artifacts while still packing this much information in perhaps a relatively short distance from the subject matter. Gursky plants himself in high areas, along with his other work. The eye in the sky perspective helps convey the mass of the group, which leaves one gasping for air both from association and amazement. The smoke amongst the people, and tinted colors, assembles a narrative for me whom does not know the intended narrative, which is that people are very resilient, powerful, and adaptive. We are survivors, living amongst the muck. Survival of the fittest.
A sense of unity through disaster or means of political mindset brings us together usually. This picture gives me hope as a generalized being, reflecting on strength in the depths of human soul seen in intentional unity.
This picture engages none other than the viewer who makes decisions on how to view a untitled piece of art.
