Wolfgang Tillmans. What´s wrong with redistribution?

This book gives an overview, through lavish reproductions, of this new form of collage, in which picture, text and object "are only kept in place by their own weight," as the photographer puts it. An essay by Tom McDonough, Professor for Art History at Birmingham University, New York, places Tillmans´ project within the context of 20th-century collage, from Hannah Höch to Robert Rauschenberg. This artist´s book, produced in Tillmans´ Berlin atelier, includes a Fresnel magnifying glass, making it possible to zoom in on the contents and read even the smallest of printed texts.
