Description: Malaga: CAC Malaga, 2011. 29cm., hardcover, 114pp. with numerous color plates. Spanish-English text. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: Thomas Ruff, who lives and works in Düsseldorf, ranks among the world's most important contemporary artists. He is regularly represented in numerous international galleries and major museums. In August 2005, NASA launched the Mars Renaissance Orbiter that successfully arrived in Mars orbit in March 2006. It was equipped with the latest high resolution camera (HiRISE) that would produce highly detailed pictures of the planet's surface, enabling scientists to learn more about the surface, atmosphere, and distribution of water on Mars. Since the 1980s, Thomas Ruff has regularly used scientific photographs as source material for his work and he came across the NASA pictures while doing research into the image-generating potential of photography. He was utterly fascinated with the extremely realistic, naturalistic and yet strange photographs of a universe that exists outside the range of conventional human experience.
