Exhibit from the series 'interior'
The range of 'Interiors' was still his student days. Most images of this group of works are included in the Black Forest, in the homes of relatives and parents of former classmates. Thomas Ruff's attitude towards these areas is ambivalent: they are for him "the epitome of philistinism," which he had escaped, and give him the same feeling of belonging or standing for a sentimental view of the surroundings of his childhood. In the 'interior' space details are given an objective and distanced, whereby condensed essence like the framing of the character and mood of each room. Early in the 80 years beginning renovations of apartments completed the series.

The photos of the latest series 'ma.rs' originally came from the NASA website and were made by the camera in a satellite, in an angle perpendicular to the surface of Mars. By subsequent coloring and adjusting the angle of a human "pseudo-oblique view," they become a virtual anticipation of a visit to Mars.
