About
large-scale monograph is devoted to Thomas Ruffâs series titled nudes in which existing imagery is appropriated by downloading generic images from pornographic âthumbnail galleriesâ on the Internet and then is enlarged, distorted, and transformed. Literally and figuratively blurring the distinctions between pornography and formalist nude photography, Ruff enhances the artificial atmosphere of the tiny âoriginalsâ by boosting their image size exponentially. Accompanying the photographs is an excerpt from a novel by French writer Michel Houellebecq.
