Wolfgang Tillmans Biography

自20世纪80年代末,沃尔夫冈*提尔曼斯(Wolfgang Tillmans, 生于1968年, 德国雷姆沙伊德) 在其创作中将亲密直接的感觉和富有趣味的的社会评论相融合,不断地质询摄影这一他最常用的媒介的根本。他的作品将各种迥异的风格、主题及展现形式无缝衔接,经常挑战人们对摄影媒介和当代图像制作过程所持的惯常普遍的态度。2000年,曾就读于英国伯恩茅斯和普尔艺术设计学院(1990-1992年)的提尔曼斯获得了特纳奖(Turner Prize),成为首个获得此奖的摄影师及非英国籍艺术家。2015年,他还获得了著名的哈苏基金会国际摄影奖。 提尔曼斯在1988年举办了他的首次个展,只展出了利用当时最通用的单色激光复印技术创作的作品。在他看来,这批早于其摄影的图像是他的第一组作品。多年以来,他数次回归到这个方法,以摆布表面、内在及物质的关系。

20世纪90年代初,提尔曼斯在伦敦生活工作期间,他的作品出现在《i-D》和《Interview》等几本主流杂志上。与此同时,他凭借看似不经意的快照图像开始崭露头角,照片里的主角往往是他身边的年轻人,包括拍摄1992年欧洲同性恋骄傲节(Europride)的知名照片。在许多人眼中,这些照片是日益盛行的酷儿文化的见证。尽管被认为是伦敦同性恋及俱乐部社交圈的忠实记录者,但提尔曼斯自己却对这个称号颇为反感。他强调他的多数照片都是摆拍,他会严格控制地点、服装和姿势,但仍尽量伪饰图像的诱骗性。1994年,提尔曼斯移居纽约,开始尝试发展新的作品装置形式。他把未经装裱的图片用胶带或者图钉无序地直接固定在画廊墙上。在这些作品组合中,彩色冲印照片和喷墨打印照片并置在一起,旁边又紧挨着一些实物,例如印有提尔曼斯早期作品的明信片和杂志剪报。这些作品大小不一,在展厅里从地板一直延伸到天花板,从中可看出艺术家对呼应特定空间进行展陈实践的兴趣,以及将单张图像归类分组、并将布展空间作为这些作品组的背景。在这一时期,提尔曼斯尝试了多样的风格:从静物、人像、航空摄影、风景到他著名的天体摄影,例如Concorde Grid (1997) 系列。 1998年,提尔曼斯首次展出了他的抽象照片,六十张彩色负片相纸承载了六十个不同的画面,全是他自1990年代初开始冲印彩色照片的积累。这些抽象照片源自一些暗室操作的失误以及受其启发的后续实验。提尔曼斯由此深化了对摄影媒介的化学和物质基础的兴趣,包括其在触感与空间上的潜力。因此,他将摄影媒介转变为一种手段,以此把玩并重新发现创造图像的模式。2012年,提尔曼斯开始只用数码摄影创作,通过高保真图像反映我们这个时代信息密集的本质。

在过去30年间,提尔曼斯也尝试创作各种动态影像,从捕捉下空无一人的夜总会内光影效果的静态镜头的影像装置_Lights(Body) _(2000-2002),到为宠物店男孩(Pet Shop Boys)的单曲_Home and Dry_所创作的音乐录影带。提尔曼斯还参与了一些政治导向的项目,例如2006年他发起了一个名为_Between Bridges_的非营利展览空间,旨在展示各种各样的政治艺术。这个空间起初设在贝思纳尔格林(Bethnal Green)的旧工厂,后来搬到了柏林直至今天。在2016年英国脱欧全民公投前夕,提尔曼斯创作了一系列反对英国脱欧的海报、T恤和形象宣传设计,这些全部可以从他的个人网站上下载。

提尔曼斯的作品被世界各国的博物馆收藏,包括巴黎蓬皮杜艺术中心,纽约大都会博物馆,芝加哥当代艺术博物馆,纽约现代美术馆,纽约古根海姆博物馆,阿姆斯特丹市立博物馆,伦敦泰特美术馆。提尔曼斯现生活工作于柏林和伦敦。
