Wolfgang Tillmans
Nothing could have prepared us – Everything could have prepared us
This podcast augments the visit of Wolfgang Tillmans’ exhibition "Nothing could have prepared us – Everything could have prepared us", presented in the empty space of the Bpi (Public Information Library).
In an interview recorded a few weeks prior to the opening, the artist discusses the conception of this unique project and reflects on the making of certain works, from a perspective rooted in the "Here and Now". Layered with sound fragments borrowed from Tillmans’ productions, the artist’s voice takes on a choral dimension.
Production and editing: Julie Micheron
