"You are free to use your eyes and give things value in your own way. Eyes are important subversive tools, because technically, they are not controlled by any kind. When you use them freely, they are free. "

Design), he won the Turner Prize in 2000, which is one of the most important visual arts awards in Europe, and this award also made him famous. Tillman is still the only artist who has won this award with photography as his main creative medium, and now works in Berlin and London.

Wolfgang tillmans is a man who has redefined photography. His revolutionary lies not only in how to take pictures and what to shoot, but also in how to choose and create the context of his works to express it. His works are very diverse, from portraits to still lifes, from landscapes to abstractions. Tillman successfully overthrew the boundaries of seemingly contradictory things and incorporated all disciplines into his own system. Moreover, he also emphasized the existence of images as spatial objects, which changed the state of images in exhibition, publishing, printing and other forms, and changed the language relationship between photography and contemporary art space. He had a great influence among the photographic latecomers in the 2 1 century.

His works are difficult to define. He doesn't put photos in the traditional way, which makes them self-evident temple masterpieces. Instead, he confuses the theme of the work in a subjective way, so that photos of different sizes can be directly hung or pasted on the wall in pairs, groups, groups or individually, and become a whole that stirs and talks with each other, because they are originally fragments of his life and are all corners of diverse and complicated reality.

A main thread that runs through his works is his so-called concern about living in this world with others and his desire to connect with others. In his seemingly casual but exquisite photos, there are always some tender and intimate things flowing. People who are touched by his lens always have a kind of fragility that goes straight into people's hearts, and there is no shell wrapped around them as a barrier.

Tillmanns said: "I never deliberately put my personal views into the image." They are just vision, and I refuse to explain vision. If you look at them and think of something, good or bad, it's already my success. "
