Published on the occasion of Wolfgang Tillmans: Lighter at Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin, from 21 March to 24 August 2008, curated by Joachim Jäger. The publication includes essays by Julie Ault, Daniel Birnbaum, and Joachim Jäger and accompanies one of the most significant institutional presentations of Tillmans' work in Germany during the 2000s.

The book was edited and designed by Tillmans himself, in collaboration with Karl Kolbitz and Federico Martelli. As throughout his publishing practice, the sequencing and layout function as an extension of the work itself: photographs of radically different scales, subjects, and periods are placed in dialogue, reproducing the associative and non-hierarchical logic of his installations. Portraiture, abstraction, still life, documentary photography, and images of everyday life coexist without a fixed distinction between photographic genres.

The exhibition took its title from Tillmans' Lighter works, photographic sheets folded and presented as sculptural objects. These works transform photographic paper into spatial forms, allowing light, shadow, reflection, and the physical properties of the photographic surface to become part of the image. The catalogue similarly treats the photograph as both image and material object.

Set in Garamond and printed on Galaxi Supermat 170 g paper by Dr. Cantz'sche Druckerei in Ostfildern, the bilingual English/German edition reflects Tillmans' longstanding interest in the book as an autonomous medium rather than simply an exhibition record.

Now out of print, Lighter is an important document of Tillmans' practice during a period in which his work increasingly moved between photography, installation, abstraction, and material experimentation, while continuing to challenge conventional hierarchies between art photography and images drawn from everyday life.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
