Condizione: as new. 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, Codice articolo 295823
