Your Body is Yours, a photobook by Wolfgang Tillmans, one of contemporary Germany's leading photographers. In a past interview, Tillmans described himself as a “picture maker.” Unbound by the constraints of being a “photographer,” he sees photography merely as “one means of picture making.” He is an artist who continues to create “new ‘pictures’” using various abstract and concrete techniques. Another compelling aspect of Tillmans is his meticulous approach: he builds models for each project, allowing no compromise in spatial design or layout, resulting in intensely dense installations. This book is a monograph published on the occasion of his 2015 exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. It includes a separate volume, “The Layered Nature of Wolfgang Tillmans' Work” (by Yuka Uematsu).
