Overview

• The Albertinum exhibition in Dresden, titled “Weltraum,” features about 200 photographs and video works, including pieces never before shown in a museum, and runs through June 26.
• At the Haus Cleff in Remscheid, Tillmans’ self-curated show brings together portraits of local tool industry workers and pop icons such as Kate Moss and Lady Gaga, attracting roughly 3,000 visitors in its first weeks and continuing until January 4, 2026.
• Scheduled to run until September 22, the Pompidou show occupies the museum’s emptied library ahead of its five-year renovation and traces Tillmans’ practice across photography, music, video and personal archives.
• By pairing intimate scenes with political imagery—from men kissing to the US-Mexico border—his work underscores his view that the personal is inherently political and seeks to open viewers to reflection.
• Tillmans’ lifelong fascination with astronomy informs his visual language, incorporating images from CERN and the Venus transit to examine themes of observation and scale.
