Candyfloss Overboard
German artist Sylvie Tillmann's first exhibition in China deals with two approaches to the body and beauty in her black and white photographs. While understanding the body as a surface to express her thoughts, she also uses the body as a conveyor of one's soul in these eerie, still, explorations of the body.

Sylvie Tillmann whose interests are both in the understanding of the body as a projection surface as well as the meaning of the expression of her thoughts while using the bodies as the conveyor of the soul.
Both aspects concentrate themselves on the fact, that there is only a frightening little space for our commonly held beliefs of beauty. In her photographs we see humans who do not identify themselves with these paradigms. Unadorned and combined with eccentric accessories, they lead the viewer towards the fact that the boundaries of the aesthetics have room for expansion. Candyfloss overboard is Tillmanns first exhibithion on Mainland China. She lives and works in Cologne / Germany.
