Thomas Ruff's "Haus No. 9 II" is a chromogenic print mounted with Diasec, a technique that adheres the photograph directly to acrylic glass for enhanced color saturation and luminosity. Part of his "Haus" series from the 1980s and 1990s, the work documents the architectural facades of post war German residential buildings with the detached, documentary precision characteristic of the Düsseldorf School of photography. The Diasec mounting process intensifies the chromatic qualities of the print, transforming the seemingly mundane architectural subject into a visually arresting image through the marriage of photographic documentation and modernist presentation.
