grayscales · early b&w photographs 1978-1988
The world is neither black nor white. Rather, it is a sea of nuances and shades, a persistent tension between light and dark, on the edge and rich in contrasts. Over the span of ten years, the photographer Robert Rutoed has trans- lated details of our reality into fine shades of grey. He transports us into a world of black-and-white, where the aesthetic of resistance and pure emotion are often separated by a mere slice of shadow. His eye is always ready for the moment at hand, always ready to uncover and explore the unexpected facets of the reality.
These 77 photographs, taken between 1978-1988 and published for the first time in book form, are accompanied by the photographer’s own short and absurd texts.

LESS IS MORE. Is there a second chance for the immediacy of the moment?
There is – in fact, not more or less, but according to the motto: Less is more!
Robert Rutoed created a bizarre (visual) archive within the scope of this photo
project. Every image relates a very personal story and is history.
WENIGER IST MEHR. Gibt es für die Unmittelbarkeit des Augenblicks eine
zweite Chance? Es gibt sie –, und zwar nicht mehr oder weniger, sondern nach
dem Motto: Less is more! Robert Rutöd schuf im Rahmen dieses Foto-Projekts
ein skurril anmutendes (Blick)Archiv. Jedes Bild erzählt eine ganz persönliche
Geschichte und ist Geschichte.
MOINS, C‘EST PLUS. L’immédiateté de l’instant peut-elle avoir une seconde
chance? Elle EST – et non pas plus ou moins, mais en partant du principe
que Less is more! Dans le cadre de ce projet de photos, Robert Rutoed a
créé une archive (de regards) à l’aspect étrange. Chaque image raconte une
histoire toute personnelle et est l’histoire.
