Life as Wolfgang sees it: Tillmans's latest project sets its sights on the world   Over the period of more than two decades, Wolfgang Tillmans has explored the medium of photo-imaging with greater range than any other artist of his generation. From snapshots of his friends to abstract images made in a darkroom without a camera or works made with a photocopier, he has pushed the photographic process to its outer limits in myriad ways. For this collection of photos, his fourth book with TASCHEN, Tillmans turned away from the self-reflexive exploration of the photography medium that had occupied him for several years by focusing his lens on the outside world—from London and Nottingham to Tierra del Fuego, Tasmania, Saudi Arabia, and Papua New Guinea. He describes this new phase simply as “trying out what the camera can do for me, what I can do for it.” The result is a powerful and singular view of life today in diverse parts of the world, seen from many angles. Says Tillmans, “My travels are aimless as such, not looking for predetermined results, but hoping to find subject matter that in some way or other speaks about the time I’m in.” The book features a conversation between the artist and Beatrix Ruf, director of Kunsthalle Zurich.   Text in English, French, and German

Hardcover, 9 x 10, 144 pages, in German. Von einem, der auszog, die Neue Welt zu gestalten Der 1930 in Chemnitz geborene Wolfgang Oehme wanderte 1957 in die USA aus, wo er seitdem großartige Gärten anlegt und einen eigenen Gartenstil entwickelt hat. Mit seinen lebenden Bildern aus tausenden Ziergräsern und Stauden hat sich der "Gräserpapst" einen Platz in der internationalen Gartenszene, vielleicht sogar in der Geschichte der Gartenkunst erobert. Der Verehrer von Karl Foerster hat die Gartenkunst der USA revolutioniert, und dies wirkt seit Jahren zurück nach Europa. Das Buch zeigt in zahlreichen Bildern überwältigende Gärten im Osten der USA und erzählt von einem beeindruckenden Gärtnerleben zwischen der Alten und der Neuen Welt. In der Verschmelzung von Leben und Werk liegt das Einmalige von Wolfgang Oehme - und dem Buch. * Die Biografie eines Auswanderers, der mutig, großzügig, fanatisch und stur seiner Idee von einem Eden auf Erden eine Gestalt gibt: in grandiosen Gärten und Park
