Thomas Ruff (*1958) und James Welling (*1951) gehören zu den bekanntesten Fotokünstlern der Gegenwart. In ihren Werken erforschen sie die Bedingungen der visuellen Wahrnehmung, auch in Bezug auf unseren Einsatz der fotografischen Apparatur, und die Konditionierung unserer Sicht auf die Welt durch fotografische Bilder. Die Ausstellung »Dunkle Materie. Thomas Ruff und James Welling« und der gleichnamige Begleitkatalog konzentrieren sich auf Arbeiten, die dem fotografischen Bild neue Möglichkeiten abringen und unser Vorstellungsvermögen erweitern. Wir nehmen unsere Umwelt subjektiv wahr, wir sehen und fühlen sie vor dem Hintergrund dessen, was wir in tradierten Bildern und Wörtern fassen und verstehen können. Rund achtzig Prozent der Materie im Universum bestehen aus einem Stoff, den wir nicht kennen: Dunkle Materie. Verhält es sich ähnlich mit dem fotografischen Bild? Verbirgt es mehr, als es zeigt?
"Thomas Ruff (*1958) and James Welling (*1951) are two of the most well-known photographic artists of the present day. They explore in their works the conditions of visual perception, also in relation to our use of the photographic apparatus, and the conditioning of our view of the world through photographic images. The exhibition »Dark Matter. Thomas Ruff and James Welling« and the accompanying catalog of the same name focus on works that wrest new possibilities from the photographic image and expand our capacity for imagination. We perceive our environment subjectively; we see and feel it against the backdrop of what we can grasp and understand in images and words that have been handed to us. About eighty percent of the matter in the universe consists of a substance we know little about: Dark Matter. Does the same apply to the photographic image? Does it hide more than it shows?" -- Provided by publisher.
