Exhibition Plan

When composing plans for my exhibition wall, I stumbled upon Wolfgang Tillamans' exhibitions, as shown here.

Examples of Wolfgang Tillmans' exhibition layout
He places his image in different positions and uses different formats to mount them, i.e. framed, using pins, masking tape etc.. As a result, it creates an awkward and unique aesthetic that would work well for this project (due to how similar in layout it is to my book).

The plans I have created are more or less the same, but I've developed and narrowed the design each time; I initially incorporated all my images from the project, and then narrowed it down to a select few. However, the general style has remained the same: the images start off high and slowly descend, reflecting Tillman's exhibition work and the layout of the photographs in my book.

Furthermore, I plan on using the actual archive images that are presented in my book, as they are a key part of the project, and using a mixture of masking tape, pins and photo corners to mount the work will coincide with the homemade aesthetic of the project.

Creating these plans has allowed me to visualise what my wall will look like, so I don't hastily display the work last minute.
