The Tripe edition series by Thomas Ruff is inspired by some of the earliest photographs of India and Myanmar, reimagining mid-19th-century architectural and topographical images by British Army captain and photographer Linnaeus Tripe. Ruff discovered Tripe’s retouched paper negatives in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and used them as the basis for his contemporary reinterpretations.
