In his current exhibition, Rebuilding the Future, Wolfgang Tillmans presents over 100 works on paper which combined, reflect the immersive experience of living in an increasingly connected world. The underlying thematic thread of technology and the process of time is also visible in his recently made sound work, I Want to Make a Film (2018) which engages with concerns over the speed and development of personal technology and its effects.

Within this context, IMMA After are hosting a workshop entitled Rebuilding the Self in collaboration with artist Aidan Wall, which will encourage participants to consider how the development of technology has impacted on the relationship between photographic portraiture and identity, particularly since the development of social media and online profiles. The workshop will include a tour of the exhibition, group discussion and collage making to explore these ideas.

Aidan Wall is an artist, writer, musician and game designer based in Dublin and Amsterdam.
