Josef Schulz & Thomas Ruff

Josef Schulz:
  • Went to Dusseldorf Academy of art under Prof. Bernd Becher 1993-1999.
  • Took photos of checkpoints and other small buildings simerlar to becher's water towers.
  • His photos have a faded background effect.
  • Photographs landscapes and buildings then removes the detail so only the structure remains.
  • Graphic/Computer generated style images.
  • Removes brand names and identifying features anywhere to be seen.
Thomas Ruff
  • Liked pixelated images from the internet.
  • Obscures 'ugly' parts of buildings and images which look clearer from a distance
