Andreas Gursky's Photographs: Analog or Digital?

According to the White Cube website: http://www.whitecube.com/artists/gursky/
"Andreas Gursky makes large-scale, colour photographs distinctive for their incisive and critical look at the effect of capitalism and globalisation on contemporary life."

My first had just come back from the Sharjah Biennale few months ago, and he was carrying a book about Andreas Gursky. I took a close look at the book and the photographs inside, and at a certain point, I felt that if I had the same book in a digital format, that could have been more interesting, as I strongly felt the urge to zoom in on a lot of his photographs to see whether they were digitally manipulated or whether these were analogue pictures that were really true to the original scene photographed.

FINAL - bricks clip indoors

A new clip with my younger sister, a new character that will only show in this clip as part of the project. Actually this clip still needs refining and more editing.

FINAL - button clip indoors

Two earlier clips which weren't quite convincing, I reworked them both and integrated them within a next context, and both clips are now merged into one. It is the following:

FINAL - gefinor clip indoors

After playing this loop for over a month now, i think i am convinced that i am going to keep the elements as i first created them, i did some minor tweaking and i imported the clip on another background from my grandmother's house interior.
