Curator: Wolfgang Tillmans's "Faltenwurf (Cubitt Edition)" presents a close-up of draped fabric, part of his ongoing exploration of surfaces and textures. Editor: It's strangely intimate, isn't it? The deep green and the shadows give it a moody, almost melancholic feel, like a forgotten uniform. Curator: The composition isolates this section of what appears to be a military-style jacket, drawing attention to its materiality—the weave of the fabric, the zipper, the subtle wear and tear. Editor: I find myself wondering about the story behind it. What did this jacket witness? Maybe that's Tillmans's trick—making the mundane whisper secrets. Curator: Exactly. He elevates the everyday, prompting us to consider the beauty and significance within the ordinary. It is about the way we see and interpret our world. Editor: Yes, he truly captures the unseen narrative of material. An evocative meditation on surface, shadow, and the stories they hold.

Faltenwurf (Cubitt Edition) is one of twenty works produced by contemporary artists for the Cubitt Print Box in 2000. Cubitt is an artist-run gallery and studio complex in north London. In 2001 the complex moved from King’s Cross to Islington and the prints were commissioned as part of a drive to raise funds to help finance the move, and to support future exhibitions and events at the new gallery space. All the artists who contributed to the project had previously taken part in Cubitt’s programme. The portfolio was produced in an edition of 100 with twenty artists’ proofs; Tate’s copy is number sixty-six in the series.
