Wolfgang Tillmans: Sound Is Liquid

This title reflects on Wolfgang Tillmans' oeuvre against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic. Accompanying an exhibition at the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig in Vienna, this catalogue features a wide selection of Tillmans’ work from his early photographs produced in the 1990s to his acclaimed photographic abstractions, his high-resolution images of the globalised and digitalised reality of the early 21st century, and photos taken shortly before and during the pandemic.The observation of people – their bodies, movements, relation to surroundings – lies at the core of the diverse oeuvre that German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans has amassed over the past three decades. Today, these haptic relations and interactions are undergoing massive shifts in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and technological change, as the necessity of social distancing and the migration of everyday life into virtual space transforms how we interact with one another.
