Wolfgang Tillmans’s photographs actively wedge themselves in the cracks of the reality around us; with their silence, vulnerability, intimacy, and closeness, sometimes they fill and other times they further stretch these slits. The exhibition at Trafó Gallery – which is the artist's first solo show in Hungary – can also be considered such a crevice; a crevice that opens up space for unintimidated human contact and moments of safety and freedom; a space where not only one singular norm and truth are acceptable. Tillmans’s approach is radically open and hopeful in this sense.
On June 5, 2021, from 7pm Wolfgang Tillmans will give a lecture on his artistic practice in the Main hall of Trafó. More information here.
