‘In my lens-based paper drop images I made the photographic paper itself my subject matter, creating images that are figurative and abstract at the same time. I liken them to mathematical functions. I can’t calculate them, but a mathematician could describe exactly how their shapes happened through the tension of the paper and gravity. They are almost like scientific illustrations.’  (Wolfgang Tillmans cited in: Jan Verwoert, Peter Halley and Midori Matsui, Eds., Wolfgang Tillmans, London 2014, n.p.).
