Double-sided print on thicker cardboard - Glossy face, matt reverse - Signed and numbered on the reverse. // Thomas Ruff’s Q.i.C. (2021) presents a haunting image on a double-sided, glossy-and-matte cardboard print, capturing a snapshot of three individuals in profile within a car, evoking a cinematic quality. Their expressions are stoic, yet the image carries a sense of mystery, as though taken from a noir film scene. The high-contrast monochromatic tones add a vintage atmosphere, and Ruff’s signature style elevates the emotional tension within this simple yet compelling composition. Through the glossy finish on the front and the matt reverse, the work gains a tactile depth, drawing viewers into the enigmatic story behind the image.

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.
