湯瑪斯．魯夫 Thomas Ruff
1958 年 生於德國哈默斯河畔采爾
1995 年 代表德國參加威尼斯雙年展
2001-2006 年 擔任杜塞道夫藝術學院教授
湯瑪斯．魯夫為今日最具影響力的攝影師之一，在杜塞道夫藝術學院的貝雪夫婦(Bernd and Hilla Becher)所創的貝雪學派(Becher school)中，是相當多產的成員。他重新定義攝影學中的概念可能性，同時捕捉並質問攝影作為視覺體驗之手法與工具的本質。
過去三十多年來，魯夫於其創作中分析人像、裸體、風景與建築攝影等諸多攝影類別的視覺表現力。他利用自己的類比及數位相片、電腦生成影像，及自科學資料庫、印刷媒體和網路上揀選的影像，進行這些探究。
八〇年代時，他幾乎只以類比相機創作，直到九〇年代數位影像科技更加盛行後，即愈發涉入數位視覺疆界的不同領域。魯夫的藝術創作出發點並非直接映照現實，而是攝影媒體那生成與操弄影像的性質。如此極端批判又具省思之攝影手法貫穿他所有作品，至今已衍生出 31 個系列。
Born in 1958, Zell am Harmersbach, Germany
Represented Germany at Venice Biennial in 1995
Was professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy 2001-2006
Thomas Ruff is among the most influential photographers working today. A prolific member of the so-called Becher school, formed by Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, Ruff has redefined photography's conceptual possibilities, simultaneously capturing and questioning the essence of photography as both a means and tool for visual experience. Over the past 30 years, Ruff has been analyzing the various photographic genres in his work – including portraiture, the nude, landscape and architectural photography – in terms of their visual expressiveness. He carries out these investigations using his own analog and digital photographs, computer-generated images, alongside images culled from scientific archives, print media, and the Internet. Whereas in the 1980s he worked almost exclusively with an analog camera,as the availability of digital image technologies became more readily available in the mid-1990s he has become increasingly involved in the different fields of the digital visual world. The point of departure of his artistic work is not the direct mirroring of reality, but rather it is the image-generating and manipulative character of the medium of photography. This extremely critical and at the same time reflective use of photographic means runs throughout his oeuvre, which in the meantime has grown to encompass 31 series.
