Post lot text

‘It is central to how I work, being open to what’s there and working in this intersection, interplay of intention and chance, control and coincidence. It is important that I do allow both and that I don’t insist on only one rhetoric, on only one method of working […] I think art is most interesting when it’s somehow a co-existence of chance and control, of what I know, what I try to control, and what I can’t–for me of course, it’s always somehow about representing what I see with my eyes.’ WOLFGANG TILLMANS
