Thomas Ruff, a leading German photographer since the late 1980s, is renowned for his analytical exploration of photography through series like "Portraits," "Nudes," "Jpegs," and "m.a.r.s." These works critically examine the concept of imagery and photography as a medium. The book documents a three-year period during which Ruff was filmed in his studio and while preparing for an exhibition. This compilation offers insight into his creative process and features an accompanying film with a runtime of 50 minutes, presented in a 6:9 aspect ratio, available in German with English subtitles.
