Wolfgang Tillmans — Freischwimmer 104
Wolfgang Tillmans

Freischwimmer 104

2004

"Freischwimmer 104" is a photograph by Wolfgang Tillmans from his ongoing series depicting swimmers in natural bodies of water, exploring themes of freedom, vulnerability, and human interaction with nature. The work exemplifies Tillmans' characteristic aesthetic of intimate observation and naturalistic color photography, capturing candid moments that balance documentary clarity with poetic abstraction. Like much of his practice, the image interrogates the relationship between the photographic medium and lived experience, presenting the body as a subject of both formal and phenomenological interest.
