WOLFGANG TILLMANS Wolfgang Tillmans

This is a collection of works and essays that systematically brings together the expression and thoughts of Wolfgang Tillmans, a world-renowned photographer representing Germany.

Starting from 1990s fashion, club culture and portraits of young people, the film follows Tillmans's journey to photography as "contemporary art" through his photographic practice, which expands to still life, abstract images and installations.

The first half of the exhibition focuses on works from 2000 onwards, edited and laid out under the direction of the artist himself, while the second half features a recent interview (interviewer: Kanai Miki) filmed in Berlin, as well as essays and conversations with Shimizu Minoru, Tom Hauraert, Beatrix Ruf and others.

This book explores the evolution of his work over the past 20 years and explores new horizons in photographic expression, centering on the series "Neue Welt (New World)."

Wolfgang Tillmans (1968-)

Born in Remscheid, Germany in 1968.
A photographer and contemporary artist based in Berlin and London, he studied at the Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design in the UK from 1990 to 1992. Since the early 1990s, he has strategically published his work in fashion magazines such as Purple , garnering attention for his unique style that crosses the boundaries of photography, contemporary art, and culture.

He has expanded the possibilities of photography through installation exhibitions in which he places photographs directly on the wall, as well as works that focus on young people of his generation, club culture, sexual minorities, and everyday scenes.
In 2000, he became the first artist who primarily uses photography as a means of expression to win the Turner Prize.
Since then, he has held large-scale solo exhibitions at museums around the world, including MoMA and Tate Modern.

His notable works include Wolfgang Tillmans (1995), Burg (1998), Soldiers: The Nineties (1999), Concorde (2002), If One Thing Matters, Everything Matters (2003), and Truth Study Center (2005).

In recent years, he has also been involved in abstract expressionism, music, and social and political themes, and has received high praise for his work in editing and directing photo books and exhibition catalogues.
