Texts arranged chronologically
Thirty years of the artist's own writing, gathered in every form it took. Arranged chronologically, the texts set out what Tillmans thinks about photography, music, politics, nightlife, astronomy, spirituality and activism. The sources are as varied as the subjects: statements and conversations first published in exhibition catalogues, posts on social media, song lyrics. Whether he is discussing his own practice or putting other people's thinking into words, he is an unusually inventive narrator, and the book is the best single route into a very large body of work.
