Wolfgang Tillmans (1968, Remscheid. Lives in Berlin and London) investigates the fundamentals of photography in his installations. He challenges the hierarchies of image reproduction and often presents his works without distinguishing between those captured by cameras and those produced through other reproduction methods, such as photocopiers. In 2000, he became the first non-British artist to receive the Turner Prize. His works are driven by political concerns, addressing themes such as homosexuality and gender identity. Among the institutions that have featured his work are the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Tate Modern and Serpentine Gallery in London, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart in Berlin, and the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.
