Description
Spread over the four exhibition spaces of the Hong Kong gallery, Tillmans presents recent developments in his portraiture and still lives. Featuring several new works not publicly shown before, the show juxtaposes pictures of intimacy and friendship with views and angles of the world at large. A wall-sized aerial view of the Sahara Desert displays almost infinite detail while being monochromatic and near-abstract in appearance. In line with Tillmans’s interest in exhibitions as amplifiers of a particular, underlying perspective, each of the works engages in an intricate system of relationships between its aesthetic elements, subject, and institutional setting. Seen together, they implicate the viewer as an active part of the dialogue.
