<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>An opulent artist's book of Tillmans' photographic abstractions</strong></p><p>Though he is best known for his portraiture and observational depictions, German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968) has simultaneously created abstract photography over the past 30 years. Dubbed his <i>Silver</i> works, these photographs expand the boundaries of photographic processes, taking what others might call accidents in the photo development process--like stains from trace chemicals and the titular silver nitrate--and using them in a deliberate compositional manner. The result is a series of images that Tillmans describes as "stained, impure, bright, [and] unstable."<br>In this artist's book, Tillmans' <i>Silver</i> works are brought together for the first time. In addition to high-quality reproductions of the works themselves, <i>Saturated Light</i> includes photographic documentation of the pieces in exhibition settings and as elements of installations. An essay by art theorist Tom Holert discusses the philosophical, aesthetic and material questions that Tillmans' <i>Silver</i> series pose. </p>
