- Includes bibliographical references.
- Summary:
- Catalog focuses specifically on four of Thomas Ruff's series: the stars series, produced between 1989 and 1992, zycles from 2007, the cassini series from 2008/2009, 2011 work from the ma.r.s. series, Scientific images are the source material for all the photographs shown, and many of them were freely accessible via the internet. While Thomas Ruff's work for the stars series was limited to selecting details from photographs, he took a heavier hand in processing the source material in his new series: for the cassini and ma.r.s. series, Thomas Ruff utilised pictures from various NASA missions. He digitally retouched them, altered the colours, manipulated contrast and cropping. Ruff's colouration of the original realistic, black and white pictures gives them a new character: they become painterly, aesthetic pictures whose abstract beauty serves as a surface for our imaginations
