Weltraum marks Wolfgang Tillmans’ first major museum show in Germany in over half a decade. Following extensive retrospectives in the USA and Canada, the exhibition focuses on new works created since 2022.

The starting point for Tillmans’ latest photographic series is, in part, a journey that began in San Francisco, the hub of digital technologies on the US West Coast, and continued through Guam to Southeast Asia. In regions such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mongolia, he continued his investigation into the material traces of internet corporations and AI companies, observing how these industries intertwine disparate locales into a dense global network.

Weltraum prominently features large-scale images that engage in a dialogue with historical artworks from the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD) collections, creating a dynamic exchange between present and historical contexts.
