What contemporary artist took these large-format color photographs of a library, a grocery store, and a hotel atrium? I saw them in Germany in the summer of 2002.
I visited Germany in the summer of 2002 and visited a number of contemporary art museums. In one of them I viewed a series (3 or 4?) of beautiful large-format color photographs taken with a wide-angle lens. The common theme was building interiors --- there was one (horizontally oriented) of a grocery store, one (vertically oriented) of a hotel atrium, and a third (also vertically oriented) of a library. I remember them as being about poster-size or possibly slightly larger, but I could be wrong. I cannot remember the name of the artist and I am having no luck on google. I have the artist's name written in the journal I kept during the trip, but I'm traveling and won't be home for another 5 weeks and it's driving me mad.
I believe I saw Damien Hirst's Lullaby Spring at the same museum, but I am not 100% sure.
The cities I visited that summer were as follows: Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Munich, Freiburg, Stuttgart, Kassel, Cologne, Hamburg, and Frankfurt. I am leaning toward Berlin, Cologne, Munich, or Hamburg. I am pretty sure it was not at Documenta 11, but I might be wrong.

Response by poster: Yes, thank god! "Shanghai" is the hotel atrium I was thinking of.
Apparently that was too easy :) Bonus points to anyone who knows what museum it was.

I have no way to know where you saw these photo's but Is there a possibility that you saw them at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich? I've seen this work several times since 2007 but I think I remember seeing them there around that time?? (I have not looked in detail, but just to narrow down your search!)
