Catalogue Note
“It’s fun to provoke coincidence, to manipulate it, control it. But we should never let the intention become too intentional, otherwise the whole affair becomes rigid. It’s a kind of game that takes place when we photograph people or, really, in all situations where we use a camera. Good things happen when energy is allowed to flow freely; these things happen in the space that lies between acceptance and control.” Wolfgang Tillmans
