Wolfgang Tillman has a similar style of photography to Nan Goldin. What I like about his work is that if often celebrates LGBTQ and it has a very inclusive feel to it. What stands out to me about his work is how he captures young people partying, dancing in real life moments. This makes his work extremely exciting to look at as often the people are not still but shot kissing, dancing and completely lost in the music. His work is very atmospheric and you can almost imagine the smell, feel and music. The sweaty, drunk, sexually heightened individuals he photographs clearly decpicts the rave culture era. I think the meaning behind his work not only captures youth culture but how raves and clubs were also places where political,class, sexuality and race barriers were forgotten.
I completely agree with your take on Wolfgang Tillman’s photography. His ability to capture the raw and energetic moments of youth, especially within the LGBTQ community, is truly remarkable. His work not only documents the vibrant rave culture but also showcases how these spaces break down barriers of politics, class, sexuality, and race.
