Wolfgang Tillmans Quotes About Eyes

• I want the pictures to be working in both directions. I accept that they speak about me, and yet at the same time, I want and expect them to function in terms of the viewer and their experience. With these abstract pictures, although the eye recognizes them as photographic rather than painted, the eye also tries to connect them to reality. There's always this association machine working in the brain, and that is why it is important to me that they are actually photographic and not painted.

• There is this looking at the world as shapes and patterns and colors that have meaning, and you can't deny the superficial because the superficial is what meets the eye. The content can never be disconnected from the surface, and this active interest in surface can never be disregarded from the good art that we admire.

• La movilidad del ojo es un tesoro tan fundamental que tenemos, y que coexiste con la sensación. En la pista de baile, estás totalmente inmerso en la realidad, al tiempo que experimentas esta imaginería onírica de colores cambiantes y superficies húmedas de piel. A veces es el contorno de la sombra en la luz estroboscópica, y en otro momento es el primer plano de una axila a la que estás mirando. No estoy fotografiando todo el tiempo, pero es algo que realmente veo todo el tiempo, y no sólo en la pista de baile.

• This ongoing coexistence which makes life sensational. The eyes have this ability to flip around what they see from one second to another, to see something as an object, and then as a design. That's really liberating, and I try to convey that in my work, that your eyes are free and you are free to use them.
