Thomas Ruff is a prolific  photographer. I went to his lecture last year, and wow. He said that when he started at Dusseldorf he was told that he had never taken his own pictures, he had just retaken pictures he had seen before.

Something of a harsh realisation, but also a good thing to be told.

Anyway, this is one of the first series he did after that.
