``Freedom From The Known'' is a collection of works by Wolfgang Tillmans, one of today's leading photographers. Until the 1980s, fashion photography, which featured makeup and posing, was the mainstream, but in the 1990s, there was a change in the depiction of casual images based on everyday life. Teller and models such as Kate Moss are on the rise. Of course, Tillmans was one of them, but even back then he was unleashing a unique worldview that incorporated modern art approaches, sequenced presentations, and installations. This is a book that focuses on the abstract works of Tillmans, who has been creating images that are more like abstract paintings than contemporary art since the 2000s, from figurative images. It was published at the time of the exhibition. The main exhibits are works that were shot without a camera and that were created for this exhibition and are being shown for the first time.
