From June 13 to September 22, 2025, the Centre Pompidou is giving carte blanche to German artist Wolfgang Tillmans, who has devised an original project to round off the programming of the Paris building. He took over the 6,000 m2 of level 2 of the Bibliothèque publique d'information (Bpi), transforming the space around a curatorial experiment that placed his work in dialogue with the library space, questioning it both as architecture and as a place for the transmission of knowledge.
The retrospective exhibition explores more than thirty-five years of artistic practice through a variety of photographic genres, including portraiture, still life, architecture, documentary and abstraction. His work takes on a wide variety of forms, playing on the verticality of walls and the horizontality of tables, defying all attempts at categorization. In addition to his photographic work, Tillmans integrates moving image, music, sound and text into this vast installation, with contributions from performance artists.
