Wolfgang Tillmans

Wolfgang Tillmans is a German photographer, who photographs popular culture and documentary

photography. His pieces are tacked to the exhibition walls in different arrangements, these may be random in appearance but are carefully placed to fill the gallery space. His pieces range in different sizes and shapes filling as much of the space as possible, they also force the viewer to travel around the gallery to look at each piece making the experience much more enjoyable for the audience. 

He also uses projections to display his photographs, this uses the darkness of the room, emitting light from the photographs, allowing the audience to connect with the pieces. 

I like the way his pieces have been displayed in the exhibition as they are often displayed on very clean white walls, which emphasise the pieces. I also like the way he places them very randomly as I feel these make the pieces more interesting to look at as it is a less conventional way of displaying photographs in a gallery. I also like the way he uses the emptiness of the space allowing the viewer to step back and look at the pieces from a distance.
