The small photograph Night Jam, 2013, is a study in color contrast,
depicting gently creased strips of variously hued photographic paper arranged on top of a paper
guillotine, bringing to mind series such as «Lighter,» 2005 — , for which Tillmans turns flat pictures into three - dimensional objects by bending, folding, or creasing photographic prints and exhibiting them in Plexiglas boxes; or the famous «paper drops,» 2001 — , for which he takes pictures of photographic paper gently furled into drop - like forms.
