Pear, Passion Fruit and Lychee Possibly 2000 - 2001

Wolfgang Tillmans' photograph "Pear, Passion Fruit and Lychee" (2000-2001) exemplifies the artist's signature style of capturing everyday objects with a heightened sense of beauty and intimacy. The image, composed of a simple still life of fruit, is shot with a direct, almost clinical gaze, focusing on the textures and forms of the passion fruit, pear, and lychee. This approach, characteristic of Tillmans' work, blurs the lines between documentary photography and fine art, elevating mundane subjects to artistic significance. The work is part of his series of photographs exploring the mundane aspects of life, revealing beauty in the everyday.
