This week, immerse yourself in the work of Wolfgang Tillmans. The socially aware artist emerged at the beginning of the 1990s as a photographer of a libertarian post-punk youth who he closely followed at raves and gay gatherings all throughout Europe.
At raves and gay gatherings, he captured – in large ink-jet prints, often unframed – the vulnerability of bodies, friends in informal poses, and individuals observed over a number of years in their personal lives. Using photography as social art, relating directly to reality, Tillmans builds empathy with his subjects. His art gets to the essential truth by paying close attention to the era. In doing so he revisits traditional genres: portraiture, still life and landscape.
Tillmans has never stopped investigating photographic techniques. He enlarges and reframes his images using a copy machine, and creates abstract photographs in a dark room without a camera, simply using a light source. Since 1992 Tillmans has designed his exhibitions himself. Forming groups of photographs, hung on and stuck to the wall, or displayed on tables in no predefined order, he uses space as a laboratory in which collections of images reflect human communities.
The interview of Wolfgang Tillmans is available from Wednesday June 24th at 6 p.m. (Paris CET): https://youtu.be/VA20a4hSw4Q
Video available for one week.

“Fingers of fire”. That is how critics described the young Behzod Abduraimov. With training combining Russian, German and American traditions, the young Uzbek pianist won the 2009 London International Piano Competition.
Drawing attention for his phenomenal presence and his jubilatory rhythmic energy, he is today an ambassador for piano and orchestra pieces, such as those of Liszt, including the monumental Sonata in B minor, and of Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 6.
Programme:
Richard Wagner / arr. Franz Liszt - Isolde's Liebestod
Franz Liszt - Sonata in B minor S.178
