On Wolfgang Tillmans' birthday, read his reflections on the evocative natural phenomenon 🌙
“The fifth solar eclipse that I saw was on the Faroe Islands. If you stood in position up on a hill, you could see the shadow arrive, travelling at the speed of an aeroplane. You could look down the horizon and then it came in a ‘whoosh’ right over you, like in the movie, Independence Day. Suddenly there is the corona in the sky; this ring of ice-cold fire. You see stars and planets and black sky. The horizon has an eerie, very dark, dusky light.
"I think there is something very consoling in feeling lost in space but also feeling grounded, and seeing that all of this is part of a bigger clockwork" – Wolfgang Tillmansis an artist who surpasses his medium, transforming the photographic image into something that stills time, expressing inner and outer experience. Following a huge summer retrospective in Japan, he is exhibiting new work for his fi rst show with David Zwirner gallery in New York until mid-October.
