How I arranged my photographs on my end of year exhibition (layout)
My inspiration is Wolfgang Tillmans's installation strategy.

For Tillmans, the images are only half the work; the installation or layout constitutes its completion. He affixes his prints directly to the wall with pins or tape, juxtaposing old and new images of varying sizes and mediums. He eschews standard darkroom procedures, blurring the lines between color and black and white (printing black-and-white images on color paper, for instance). Color photographs are placed next to inkjet prints and next to postcards and magazine clippings of his own images, contesting conventional hierarchies of scale and subject matter while drawing focus to the materiality of the photographic medium—all within a carefully composed environment that seems to disdain permanency.

Wolfgang Tillmans has pioneered a presentation style outside the norms of standard exhibitions. Tillmans rarely uses frames, but when he does inconsistencies in size and style are obvious. The photographer mainly pins and tapes images directly onto gallery walls, placing fax and photocopies next to delicately printed images and postcard-like photographs next to large-scale canvases. Viewing his shows as site-specific, the exhibition space is generally addressed as a larger composition.
