“I see photography as nothing else but an expression of how I look at the world, which sounds like a very banal truism, but how we look at things is actually all that matters. If it is non judgemental, if it is from above, from below. I hope for connections with others who recognize that similar approach to the world in the texture or the mood or the feel of a photograph. They might sense “Oh I know how that feels”. Or, “I know how that smells”. That’s the only connection I can really go by, and that is a moment of feeling less lonely in the world”.
Wolfgang Tillmans in Aperture 237
