Catalogue of two exhibitions by Thomas Ruff at Gagosian Gallery in London in 2012: ma.r.s., with the substrats and jpegs series, at Britannia Street, and nudes at Davies Street. It includes an interview with the artist by Hans Ulrich Obrist and an essay by Geoff Dyer. The substrats (2002-2003) are based on images from Japanese manga and anime cartoons, digitally altered into an abstraction of forms and colours, while the nudes are based on Internet pornography.
