Thomas Ruff's *Nudes cp17* is a large-scale chromogenic print in which pixelated, blurred imagery sourced from internet pornography is transformed into an abstracted, painterly composition. The face-mounting to Diasec gives the surface a luminous, glass-like quality that enhances the work's ambiguous tension between voyeurism and detachment. Presented in the artist's frame, the work challenges the boundaries between photography, digital manipulation, and fine art.
