Wolfgang Tillmans
This is one of the ways Wolfgang Tillmans has presented his exhibition, he chooses different sized for the images because it depends on what the subject matter is he approaches his work with a democratic eye and a singular style that rejects the traditional hierarchy of subject matter.
His photographs present casual views of people caught at their most unguarded moments and moneys in everyday life.
Tillman's work challenges traditional photography, mixing framed and unframed photography in his exhibitions. He decided how the individual image is presented by its content.
These compositions span over entire walls and galleries, incorporating clusters of ink-jet prints and C-print photographs that vary in size.

This piece came
out of a series of works Parker was doing about cartoon deaths - things
like: things falling off cliffs, things being run over by a steam roller,
things being blown up, shot full of bullets, like roadrunner or Tom and
Jerry.
The garden shed
came about because I was trying to find something universal and archetypal and
that we all identified with and that was familiar to us. It's not the house but
it's this kind of attic-y private place at the bottom of the garden which we
put all our left-over stuff in. And so it seemed like a depository rather than
the place that you live. We took it out to the Banbury Army School of
Ammunition, to their demolition grounds where they do all these experiments
with explosives and they were really keen to blow it up. I actually pressed the
button that detonated it.
