The strange world of Tillmans at Rivoli
Considered one of the most innovative photographers of his generation (born in 1968), synonymous with “improvised” styles which have as recurring themes the breaking of sexual taboos and the search for beauty in sections of life outside the conventional aesthetic precepts; also known by a wide audience, not just those who follow art and photography, having received in London the prestigious Turner Prize in 2000, Tillmans embarked on his own professional path in the early nineties.
The exhibition at Rivoli – travelling also to Hamburg, Paris and Humlebæk – concentrates on the last four years of his work, with a collection that (apart from a few exceptions) is made up of photographic prints and ink jet images which put together with rigorous abstract images. The work has been carried out without a camera, thanks to a particular technique of manipulating light in direct contact with photosensitive paper.
