Overview

In Lights (Body), flashing lights in a busy nightclub are accompanied by the hypnotic dance beat "Don't Be Light (The Hacker Remix)," by the French duo Air. The ravers are out of sight, but specks of dust rising from their clothes and skin are visible in close-up shots of the beams of light. Like Tillmans's earliest photographs of nightclubs, the work presents the dance floor as a site of liberation and resistance, generated through experiments in representation and collective assembly. As Tillmans has noted, it is also "the venue for extreme beautiful abstraction." [Overview Courtesy of MoMA]
