Thomas Ruff: jpegs NY | New York: 19th Street | September 10–October 17, 2026 | David Zwirner

On September 11, 2026, marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. The exhibition “jpegs ny” by Thomas Ruff offers a poignant and unsettling plunge into this historical event. The artist presents a series of twelve photographs, drawn from a larger project, capturing the fragmented and imprecise images of the events through the lens of his camera. Ruff explores the nature of memory and image, highlighting how memories can be distorted and impossible to capture precisely. These works, born from a direct and traumatic experience, question our relationship with reality and the documentation of tragic events. The exhibition invites deep reflection on the role of photography in transmitting the past and the fragility of collective memory. The work is accessible until October 17, 2026.
