This edition is based on Thomas Ruff's d.o.pe. series, which was exhibited at David Zwirner New York in October 2022. Known for his exploration of the ever-changing possibilities of photography and his interest in visualised geometric structures (coined "fractal" by the mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975), Thomas Ruff used a specialised software programme to create fractal patterns which were then printed on industrial carpets for the exhibition, and on rag paper for the edition. The title of the series refers to Aldous Huxley’s autobiographical volume The Doors of Perception from 1954.
