Wolfgang Tillmans presents "Keep Movin'," an exhibition of new photographs, sculptures, and video works at Regen Projects in Los Angeles. The show, installed in January 2026, features large prints, unframed photocopier works, ready-made sculptures, and his ongoing "Truth Study Center" displays of ephemera. Tillmans explores themes of social and political cycles, image construction, and the ambiguity of beauty, using materials ranging from nautical ropes to close-ups of offal.
This exhibition matters because it demonstrates Tillmans' continued evolution as a photographer who has transcended insider art circles to influence fashion, music, and online aesthetics. At 57, with major shows at Centre Pompidou and MoMA behind him, Tillmans insists on reevaluating what makes a contemporary image, refusing to rest on his established reputation. The show underscores his enduring relevance in questioning how we perceive beauty and truth in an age of information overload.
