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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Ruff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3791359800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783791359809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prestel Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Thomas Ruff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987495321855,"sku":"9783791359809","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fcc55f6a-0517-44c6-a328-8eb4566667a3.jpg?v=1683289325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thomas-ruff-thomas-ruff-9783791359809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
