Det gode fotografi

“Det gode fotografi foreviger de fantastiske og foruroligende øjeblikke. Det kondenserer tid og handlinger, og det kan som intet andet medie skabe genkendelighed og identifikation. Det kan skabe debat eller helt nye perspektiver. I mine øjne kan fotografiet noget ganske særligt.”

**Bloggen Det gode fotografi er et åndehul for fotokunsten skrevet af specialist i fotografi hos Bruun Rasmussen Christine Almlund.**

Can you find the Manga figure in this photo? The work is by the German photographer Thomas Ruff, who is one of the most important European contemporary photographers to emerge at the end of the 20th century. Two of his works are up for auction 3 June in Copenhagen and you can see both works at our preview next week. It opens on Thursday 23 May! This piece (a detail) from his “Substrat” series is a form of appropriation art more than a traditional photograph. Ruff has taken a Manga comic figure found on the Internet and edited it digitally. The original image ends up as a completely different, colourful and abstract amorphous structure becoming a work in its own right, enhanced further by the large format (this piece measures 269.2×167.6 cm). Ruffs works are rooted in the documentary tradition of the Düsseldorf School of photography founded by Bernd and Hilla Becher, known for its detached, objective gaze. He is part of the first and most influential generation of students from this school, which counts notable artists such as Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth and Candida Höfer. Since his first series “Interieurs” appeared in 1979, Thomas Ruff has constantly challenged the conventions of the medium and the documentary style his work sprung from. Essentially his works are photos on photography. And with each new series of works, he has explored the medium, its genres, motifs and techniques, with a methodical approach: “His work contains neither narrative nor anecdotal moments it is purely an expression of a conceptual working method in a scientific form which dissects the objects, reassembles them and in doing so combines analysis and original image creation: “The artist is not there to entertain, but to enlighten and contextualize. Art must make people think.”” (Thomas Weski: The Scientific Artist. In: Thomas Ruff, Works 1979–2011. (2012), p.36) #thomasruff #düsseldorfschool #artmustmakepeoplethink #photographyaboutphotography #readmoreontheblog #fineartphotography #contemporaryart #conceptualart #artcollector #bruunrasmussen #liveauction @thomasruffphoto
