Others, such as Höfer and Struth, have reassessed iconic works of art and architecture, revealing the relevance of the past in our present lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll of these artists have made large-scale prints that create new and strangely destabilising experiences of space for their viewers.
