Freischwimmer 23
A large-scale abstract chromogenic print, *Freischwimmer 23* belongs to Wolfgang Tillmans' celebrated series created without a camera, manipulating light directly onto photosensitive paper in the darkroom. Fluid, organic forms in deep greens and blacks seem to drift and billow across the surface, evoking underwater plant life or atmospheric phenomena. The work exemplifies Tillmans' ongoing investigation into the fundamental properties of photography itself, elevating the medium's most elemental processes into lyrical, almost painterly compositions.
