About Sha Tin

The artwork titled “Sha Tin” created in 1994 by artist Andreas Gursky belongs to the genre of photography. The photograph quite likely captures a scene at the Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong. From the perspective of the image, it appears to be taken from a high vantage point, showcasing the racetrack with a mass of spectators gathered. The audience is clustered mainly in the center of the image, dispersed across the stands and the open space surrounding the track. In the background, one can observe a panoramic view that includes high-rise buildings and a lush, mountainous landscape that contrasts sharply with the man-made environment of the racetrack. The image captures a multitude of elements, from the organic shapes of the hills to the geometric lines of the architecture, and humanity mingled within this broad tableau, providing a sense of scale and reflecting Gursky’s style of exploring societal structures through his works.
