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.
On the desk sits a computer, printer and a few stacks of various
paper and card, next to which are a manual
guillotine, a binder and some rubber stamps.
