Text in German and English.
"Thomas Ruff (born in 1958), from the Becher class of internationally renowned photo
artists, is a master of conceptual photography. His work, which contains neither
narrative nor anecdotal moments and makes equal use of analog and digital production
techniques, is an expression of a thoroughly scientific working method, which dissects
its object, reassembles it and in so doing combines analysis and original creation.
He became known in the 1980s with oversized and hyperrealist color portraits of his
friends and fellow students at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. It was he who discovered
the Diasec process for photography, a method borrowed from advertising of framing
photographic prints and thus liberating the photograph from the ghetto of print cabinets.
Since then, large-format photographic works have been proudly displayed on museum
and gallery walls worldwide. [Title] presents selected photographs from all of the
artist's series to date, starting with his small Interiors and large Portraits, to
the starry skies and night shots, the nudes, recycled from pornographic material he
found on the Internet, and abstract Substrates, to his stellar compositions based
on astronomical photographs from ESO and NASA."--P [4] of cover
