"Manual" is a photobook by Wolfgang Tillmans, one of the leading photographers in contemporary Germany. In an interview, Tillmans once described himself as a "picture maker." Not confined to the framework of "photographer," he sees photography as merely "one of the means of picture making," and has continued to create "new 'pictures'" using various abstract and figurative techniques. One of Tillmans' appeals is that he creates models for each project, making no compromises on space, design, or layout, and creating dense installations. This book is the core of those installations, a collection of works known as "Manual," a display method in which Tillmans arranges photographs, paintings, and scraps on a table in his studio, questioning the content of the works and their relationships. It offers a glimpse into fragments of Tillmans as both a photographer and an artist.
