Star 13h 25m / -30° (STE 3.24)
1992
Thomas Ruff's *Star 13h 25m / -30° (STE 3.24)* presents a vast, deep-black expanse of space punctuated by countless luminous points of light, evoking both the infinite scale of the cosmos and an almost clinical detachment. Sourced from astronomical archive photographs, Ruff enlarges the images to monumental scale, transforming scientific data into a sublime and meditative visual experience. The work challenges the boundary between documentary record and fine art, inviting viewers to contemplate humanity's place within the universe.
