Thomas Ruff

Thomas Ruff was in New York on the 09/11/2001 he photographed the scene,  but ended up losing all photos from that day so he became obsessed with other people photos from that day. He became interested in memory- losing memory  though pixilating other photos to showing how the more we look into something the more we can sometime forget.

  

The photos are not his own he downloads them from the internet, which their is some discussion about since it is not his own photography but it his idea. The idea about the photos being pixelated which represents the lose of memory it is quite interesting since the photos are not in focus giving you a slight insight to how a person with memory lose might find it difficult to remember important events.
