| 沃尔夫冈•提尔门斯 （Wolfgang Tillmans）
(2000年获得 “透纳奖”)
1968年出生
德国摄影师。在汉堡生活工作一段时间（1987–90年）之后，他在伯恩茅斯和普尔艺术设计学院（Bournemouth and Poole College of Art） （1990–92年）求学，然后定居伦敦。1998年，他被任命为汉堡造型艺术学院（ Hochschule für Bildende Künste）的客座教授。在20世纪80年代末，提尔门斯开始拍摄混合时尚摄影和记录摄影的有趣照片。起初，他与汉堡的风格和时尚期刊合作，拍摄欧洲俱乐部的情景照片。1988年，他开始与英国生活杂志i-D 广泛合作，在杂志内容中，他出版了自己的许多作品。作品主题从身边的静物到朋友和名人的肖像，常常明确地涉及到他对无家可归、种族主义和同性恋权利等政治问题的关注。他利用精心建造的墙式蒙太奇展出图像作品，混合使用喷墨打印图和杂志照片及页面，比如，《我屏住呼吸》（ I Didn't Inhale ）展览（伦敦, Chisenhale美术馆, 1997年）。这种展览表现了他的作品中艺术与出版的紧密联系 。这些蒙太奇时常在连续性的装置中使用相同的图像，其效果不仅是为了使摄影印刷品和大量制作的杂志页面产生同等的价值，而且还为了避免在创作题材方面产生等级层次，从而使Blur乐队歌手达蒙•奥尔本（Damon Albarn ）等知名人物能被安排在无名小辈的身旁。他于2000年获得特纳奖。
Wolfgang Tillmans
(won the Turner Prize in 2000)
born 1968
German photographer. After a period living and working in Hamburg (1987–90), he studied at the Bournemouth and Poole College of Art (1990–92), and then settled in London. In 1998 he was appointed guest professor at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Hamburg. In the late 1980s Tillmans began making photographs that constitute an intriguing hybrid of fashion photography and documentary reportage. Working at first with Hamburg-based style and fashion journals, he took photographs of the European club scene. In 1988 he began an extensive collaboration with the British lifestyle magazine i-D, in whose pages he published much of his work. His subjects range from intimate still-lifes to portraits of friends and celebrities, referring often explicitly to his involvement with political issues such as homelessness, racism and gay rights. He exhibits his images in carefully constructed wall montages, mixing ink-jet prints with photographs and pages taken from the magazines, for instance in the exhibition I Didn't Inhale (London, Chisenhale, 1997). Such presentation demonstrates the close interaction of art and publishing in his work. The effect of these montages, often using the same image in successive installations, serves not only to give equal value to the photographic print and mass-produced magazine page, but also to reject a hierarchy in the subject-matter, so that a well-known personality such as Blur's singer Damon Albarn can be placed next to an unknown sitter. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2000. |
