Lot Essay

‘Really looking and observing is hard, and you can’t do it by following a formula. What connects all my work is finding the right balance between intention and chance, doing as much as I can and knowing when to let go, allowing fluidity and avoiding anything being forced’ (W. Tillmans, quoted in ‘Look, Again’, in Frieze, 1 October 2008, www.frieze.com/issue/print_article/lohttps://www.frieze.com/issue/print_article/look_again/ok_again/).
