Wolfgang Tillmans Quotes About Reality

• 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.

• 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.

• On the one hand I follow a vocation because I have an ability that I should exercise, but I want to use it for a reason, because I don't see that the freedoms that I enjoy are God-given realities. So I have a very healthy, activist general tension in me which feels that no, this is not gratuitous, it is important to keep this in focus.
