He photographs a wide variety of subject matter and constantly changes the way his work is displayed. He keeps himself curious and awake with his medium, which he is constantly questioning. A lot of his work almost has a snapshot feel to it, something I've noticed in my own stuff, but the care taken in composing each shot and the intentionality of his display arrangements makes them more, and that coupling of intimacy and purpose makes me at least really think about the photographic image and the power of the personal camera.
Operating on the basis of the fundamental equality of all motifs and supports, through this continual re-arranging, repositioning, questioning and reinforcement, Tillmans avoids ascribing any ‘conclusions’ to his work and thus repeatedly subjects his own photographic vision to a perpetual re-contextualization.
thank you, wikipedia.
This is a man who really thinks about....everything, who never lets his mind settle, and that's really inspiring. If I could, I'd send you a billion more quotes of his, but instead I'll just give you his website link. <3ilovewolfgangtillmans.org<3
