Edition of 50 - Inkjet on Rag Photographique Paper - Signed, dated and numbered on the reverse - In pristine condition - Presented in a portfolio with text by Thomas Ruff and Martin Barnes, Senior curator, Photographs, V&A // Thomas Ruff's Tripe_08 (Pugahm Myo. Thapinyu Pagoda) from 2018 captures a hauntingly beautiful image of the Thapinyu Pagoda in Pugahm Myo. This inkjet print, measuring 40 by 50 cm, is printed on Rag Photographique Paper, which enhances the ethereal quality of the composition. The pagoda appears to emerge from a misty landscape, surrounded by vegetation under a softly diffused sky, giving the image a timeless, almost ghostly presence. Ruff’s choice of muted tones and delicate details reflects his exploration of historical architecture through a contemporary lens, echoing the aesthetic of early photography. Limited to an edition of 50, each print is signed, dated, and numbered on the reverse, making it a contemplative tribute to both the beauty and mystery of ancient structures.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
