Thomas Struth captures larger-than-life photographs that take people places they don't normally get to see – like space stations and physics laboratories. His images often focuses on technology and man-made landscapes and he encourages viewers to see the world differently.

Atlanta's High Museum of Art opens a new exhibit of his works this weekend called "Thomas Struth: Nature and Politics." It's the first time the exhibit will be shown in the U.S. We talk with Struth and the museum’s assistant curator of photography, Gregory Harris, about the photographs in the exhibit, which include two taken in Atlanta.

"Thomas Struth: Nature and Politics" will be on display from Oct. 16, 2016, through Jan. 8, 2017 at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. Struth and Gregory Harris, the High's assistant curator of photography.
