Wolfgang Tillmans

"Look at the world with sand grains, watch heaven with wild flowers, hold infinity in your hands, and forever within an hour -" - William Black. Rafael Doctor, a Spanish art curator, wrote that London-based German-born photographer Wolfgang Tillmans has a wonderful ability to see the whole world. It is small and ordinary. Last year, the judges of the British Turner Award acknowledged the gift and made hTillmans the first photographer who gave this honor. As an open-gay artist, the image of Tilmans has caused fear and disgust for some time in some parts of British media, but after his Turner Prize was won, accusations became more frequent and enthusiastic It was.

Since I first saw Wolfgang Tillmans' work, I was fascinated. His photograph has urgency to pull you into your rank. Tillmans was born in Germany in 1968 and is now distributing time between Berlin and London and was the first British artist to win the Turner Prize in 2000. So it would be ironic to see the posters of the anti-British retreat that he designed exactly. , Highlighted on his website. However, when politics fails, there is always a poem. The Tillmans collection at Tate Modern Gallery is a collection of works from various media such as photos, videos, publications, curation projects, recorded music. Two things are obvious. First, Tillmans emphasizes the immediacy of photo media and seldom constitutes his photographs. His inkjet prints are often pinned and slightly out of the wall

His work quoted by Wolfgang Tilmans is "Challenging the institutionalization of images in galleries and magazines." The pictures taken by him are women who choose vegetables at the grocery store, gallon juice sitting on the shelf, and even men 's shoes. There were many pictures of the same kind of themes in the magazine. However, if you look closely, you will see a completely different perspective on these topics. The way Wolfgang Tilmans draws his / her daily life through his work has similarities and differences with the way mainstream magazines decide to draw it.
