Thomas Ruff's *h.t.b. 06* is a large-scale chromogenic print mounted behind acrylic using the Diasec process, lending the image a luminous depth and polished, glass-like surface. The work belongs to Ruff's ongoing exploration of found and manipulated imagery, in which he appropriates and digitally transforms pre-existing photographs to interrogate the nature of representation and meaning. The Diasec mounting enhances the vivid tonal qualities of the print, reinforcing Ruff's interest in the tension between photographic objectivity and constructed artifice.
