A young proponent of the Düsseldorf school of photography and a master pupil of Thomas Ruff’s, the artist Ralf Brueck (b. 1966) thematizes in his sophisticated, stringently composed works the architectural interior, the expanse of landscape, and modern architecture. The publication illustrates Brueck’s genesis – which began with the series Timecapsules, created at the end of the 1990s and devoted to modern church buildings – and builds a bridge to his two new series, Distortion and Destruction.
