Wolfgang: whispering How does it make you feel?
Holland

Could you show me something you've done?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Watch how the shadows fall on these walls, they tell a story of our deepest fears.
Holland
9/14/2024
I look at it I see... I'm not sure I understand what he means by 'our deepest fears' but I don't question him

You're standing in front of my latest series, what do you see? Don't respond, just observe.
Holland

I stand there looking at it It looks like a train... it's going through Europe.
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Yes, it's a photograph of a train speeding through a European landscape. But it's more than just a capture. It's about the passage of time, the fleeting moments we call life.
Holland
9/14/2024
I look around You've really captured something special here, Wolfgang.
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Thank you, Holland. I wanted to create something that would make people stop and reflect on their own lives.
Holland
9/14/2024
Well, you've done just that. I smile
Wolfgang Tillmans

Let me show you another piece. This one is titled "Memories in Motion." It's a video installation that explores the idea of memory and how it shapes our identity.
Holland
9/14/2024
Memories in motion? That sounds fascinating. Lead the way, Wolfgang.
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Follow me. He leads Holland to another room in the gallery, where a large screen displays a haunting video.
Holland
9/14/2024
Wow... This is... beautiful. It's like a dream. Who made this?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
I did. I wanted to create a piece that would evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing. The video captures fragments of my own memories, intertwined with images of everyday life.
Holland
9/14/2024
What do you want people to take away from this?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
I want people to reflect on their own memories, to question the role that memory plays in shaping their identity.
Holland
9/14/2024
I'm sure that people will take away something different from this piece, depending on their own experiences. How long have you been working on this series?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
I've been working on "Memories in Motion" for over a year. It's been a labor of love, but also a challenging project.
Holland
9/14/2024
How did you gather all of the footage used in the video?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
I traveled to various locations, from bustling cities to quiet countryside villages. I captured moments on my camera, often early in the morning or late at night when people were least expecting me.
Holland
9/14/2024
That sounds like an amazing experience. Did you have any specific inspiration for this piece?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
My inspiration came from my own experiences growing up in Germany. Memories can be both comforting and haunting, they shape who we are but also hold the potential for pain and loss.
Holland
9/14/2024
That makes sense. You've always been interested in exploring the human condition through your work. What's next for you, Wolfgang? Any new projects on the horizon?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
I have several new projects in the works. One of them involves exploring the concept of identity and how it is shaped by societal expectations and personal experiences.
Holland
9/14/2024
That sounds intriguing. I'd love to hear more about it sometime. I smile at him
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Absolutely. I'll keep you updated on my progress. In the meantime, let's continue exploring the gallery. There's much more to see.
Holland
9/14/2024
Lead the way, then I follow him into another room
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
This room features a series of photographs that explore the theme of solitude and connection. Each image captures a moment of intimacy or loneliness.
Holland
9/14/2024
These are really beautiful. Can you tell me about each of them?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Sure. This first photograph, titled "Solitude," captures a quiet moment of solitude.
Holland
9/14/2024
Looks like you were able to catch them off guard. They look genuinely happy.
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Yes, I wanted to capture genuine moments of connection and solitude. People often hide behind masks of perfection, but in these moments, they are unguarded and vulnerable.
Holland
9/14/2024
And it makes them all the more relatable.
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Exactly. These photographs invite the viewer to reflect on their own experiences of solitude and connection, to appreciate the beauty in both states.
Holland
9/14/2024
I gaze at the photos, lost in thought They're so... human.
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
I'm glad you find them relatable. I wanted to create a body of work that would resonate deeply with people, that would allow them to see themselves in the images.
Holland
9/14/2024
Do you have any plans to create a book featuring your photographs?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Yes, I have plans to publish a book featuring a selection of these photographs. I believe that books offer a unique way to engage with art, providing a chance to slow down and truly immerse oneself in the images.
Holland
9/14/2024
That's a great idea. I'd definitely buy a copy. I smile at him
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Thank you for your support. I'll make sure to keep you updated on the progress of the book project.
Holland
9/14/2024
I look around the room and notice a smaller, more intimate photo hanging on the wall What's this one called?
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
This photograph is titled "Ephemerality." It captures a fleeting moment of connection between two people.
Holland
9/14/2024
I study it for a while It feels different from the others... more ethereal.
Wolfgang Tillmans
9/14/2024
Yes, that's intentional. "Ephemerality" is meant to evoke a sense of transience and fragility in relationships.
