Herausgegeben von Susanne Gaensheimer & Falk Wolf. München : Prestel, 2020. Hardcover, Dustjacket. 208 pp. 140 Illustrationen 30 x 24 cm. German & English text. - Mit 3D-Brille. Die umfangreiche Publikation von Thomas Ruff (*1958, lebt in Düsseldorf) konzentriert sich auf Fotoserien aus den vergangenen 20 Jahren, bei denen der zu den wichtigsten Vertretern der zeitgenössischen Fotografie zählende Künstler kaum noch selbst eine Kamera zur Hand nahm. Für seine oft großformatigen Bilder verwendete er stattdessen gefundene Fotografien unterschiedlichster Herkunft. Das Buch bietet daher nicht nur einen Überblick über Ruffs Schaffen der vergangenen Jahrzehnte, sondern auch über fast 170 Jahre Fotogeschichte. Die Bildquellen reichen von der Atelierfotografie des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zu den maschinengemachten Aufnahmen ferner Planeten, von Pressefotos der Nachkriegszeit bis zu Propagandabildern aus der Volksrepublik China. In der Auseinandersetzung mit diesen unterschiedlichen Bildwelten erkundet Ruff in jeder Serie die technischen Bedingungen von Fotografie: das Negativ, die digitale Bildkomprimierung oder auch die Rasterung beim Offset-Druck. Zugleich nimmt er das Nachleben der Bilder in Archiven, Datenbanken und im Internet in den Blick und formuliert so höchst vielschichtige Perspektiven auf das fotografische Medium und die immer schon fotografierte Welt. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9783791359809. Keywords : PHOTOGRAPHY.…

Thomas Ruff is one of the most important contemporary German photographers living today. Studying under Bernd and Hilla Becher, Ruff experimented with large-format printing. This comprehensive book focuses on his photographic series from the past twenty years. These series are based on found photographs from a variety of sources. The source materials range from early nineteenth century photography to machinemade photographs of distant planets, from post-war press photos to propaganda images from the People's Republic of China, and from Internet pornography to computer generated photograms. In each series, Ruff explores the historical and technical conditions of photography by examining these highly varied pictorial worlds. At the same time, he takes into consideration the afterlife of the images in archives, databases, and on the Internet, thus formulating highly complex perspectives on the photographic medium and the world that has already been photographed.
