Catalogue Note
"In Tillmans’s work, however, there is no secret to be revealed. On the contrary, the size of the photograph tempts the gaze to wander. Our perception begins to “swim” – to a place where nothing is conceptually defined. Like his photos of people, interiors and landscapes, Tillmans’s abstract works train our sense of sight in a mode of seeing free of ideology. They demand our desire for unseen images."
