A collection of works by German photographer and contemporary artist Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968). This exhibition catalogue was published to coincide with the exhibition of the same name held at the Centre Pompidou in Paris from June 13 to September 22, 2025.

The exhibition occupied the entire second floor of the Bibliothèque Publique d'Information (BPI) at the Centre Pompidou. Drawing on the library's physical infrastructure—including bookshelves, desks, chairs, carpeting, and windows—Tillmans reconfigured his nearly 40-year career. By combining photographs with video, sound, personal belongings, and printed matter, he transformed this space, typically used for the accumulation of knowledge and information, into a large-scale installation.

Produced in close collaboration with the artist, this book includes photographic works alongside numerous installation views. A portfolio curated by Tillmans himself pairs individual image plates with photos of the installation, conveying the spatial expansiveness of the exhibition. The inside flaps of the cover feature a floor plan of the library before the exhibition and after the installation was set up, respectively.

An essay by Florian Ebner explores the relationship between the physical site of the photograph and the digital platforms through which images circulate, all through the lens of transforming a library into an exhibition space. It re-examines Tillmans' display methods and artistic practice by intersecting themes of photography, architecture, information, memory, and social interaction.

A volume that serves as a record of the exhibition held ahead of the Centre Pompidou’s major renovation, while also introducing Tillmans’ practice of incorporating the function and history of the library space itself into his work.

Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968)

Born in Remscheid, Germany, in 1968. A contemporary artist working across various media, primarily photography, as well as video, music, and installation.

Beginning his photography practice in the late 1980s, he garnered attention in the 1990s with works documenting youth culture, the club scene, and the everyday lives of his friends. He treats a wide range of subjects—including people, still lifes, landscapes, architecture, and abstract imagery—continuing his work without being constrained by the genres or hierarchies of photography.

He is known for his display methods, such as taping unframed photographs directly to the wall and combining prints of different sizes with various printed materials. Beyond individual photographs, the relationships between the images and the composition of the entire space are essential elements of his work.

In 2000, he became the first photographer to receive the UK's Turner Prize. He also engages in abstract photography—often created without a camera—as well as works involving video and music, reflecting his interest in the materiality of the photographic medium, the circulation of information, and social connectivity.
