Background information, statement by the German photographer, Wolfgang TILLMANS
"This is the first time I have made such a large-format publication. Since the bows are not bound, one has the feeling of actually holding original prints of mine in my hands." (© Wolfgang TILLMANS)
Content
This special edition of 'Neue Welt' by Wolfgang TILLMANS is a SIGNED portfolio. Wolfgang TILLMANS has selected 72 images for this artist edition and 're-contextualized' them on 24 folded, large-format printed sheets: each sheet becomes a separate image object with front, centerfold and back. For some of the sheets, when unfolded, the front and back sides merge to form a large picture. Wolfgang TILLMANS has also enlarged some details to large format and thanks to the new digital technology can retrieve a previously unknown information density. In addition to photographs from 'Neue Welt', the artist folder also contains some new photographs that are not included in book's trade edition." (publisher's note, © Taschen Verlag, 2912)
