Thomas Ruff, James Welling

Dark Matter

Running time:
5.11.22-5.3.23

Curated by Christina Végh and Felicitas von Richthofen

Thomas Ruff (*1958) and James Welling (*1951) are among the best-known photo artists of the present day. In their works, they explore the conditions of visual perception, also in relation to our use of photographic equipment, and the conditioning of our view of the world through photographic images. The exhibition “Dark Matter. Thomas Ruff, James Welling” concentrates on works that bring new possibilities to the photographic image and expand our imagination. We perceive our environment subjectively, we see and feel it against the background of what we can grasp and understand in traditional images and words.

Around eighty percent of the matter in the universe consists of a substance that we do not know: Dark matter. Is it similar with the photographic image? Does it hide more than it shows?

The exhibition is sponsored by the Sparkasse Bielefeld Foundation and the LWL Cultural Foundation.
