August 2002

"August" (2002) by Wolfgang Tillmans is a photograph that exemplifies his signature style of capturing the mundane and everyday. The image features a simple still life arrangement of a glass, a yellow tomato, a few plums, and a spoon on a glass plate. The composition is off-center and unassuming, creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy. Tillmans's photographic approach, often described as "documentary aesthetic," focuses on capturing the fleeting beauty of the ordinary, inviting viewers to see the world through a new lens.
