Artists in conversation

Nan Goldin
American · b. 1953

Goldin shares Tillmans's intimate documentary approach to youth culture, queer communities, and raw personal relationships captured through photography. Both artists treat the photographic print as a vehicle for emotional and political truth rather than purely aesthetic formalism.

Corinne Day
British · b. 1962

Day similarly photographed youth subcultures and intimate domestic scenes with an unposed, naturalistic sensibility that blurred the line between personal documentary and art photography. Her interest in ordinariness and vulnerability closely mirrors Tillmans's approach to portraiture and still life.

Jack Pierson
American · b. 1960

Pierson works across photography and installation exploring themes of desire, intimacy, and queer identity with a casual yet charged visual language. His layered exhibition strategies and interest in the material presence of images in a gallery space parallel Tillmans's innovative installation practice.
