I went to the Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition yesterday morning. Of all the many images on display, many bleak, I found the most moving were the set of posters which he had done – I think uncommissioned – to persuade people to vote Remain. It feels like it was a hundred years ago. ‘No man is an island. No country by itself’. ‘It’s a question of where you feel you belong. We are the European family’. ‘What is lost is lost forever’.
Good for Tillmans ! They are timeless truths. They may run counter to the facile banalities of the Trumpeteers and Brexiters but they will return.
Well said Mark!
