Heartbeat/Armpit

Heartbeat/Armpit consists of a looped video that runs just under two and a half minutes, presented without sound. The artwork features a cropped overhead shot of a young man lying bare-chested on a carpet, creating a tranquil yet striking visual.

The piece captures minute movements, conveying the subject's breath and heartbeat through subtle rises and falls of his chest. This attention to detail transforms the work into a living image, inviting viewers to reflect on the themes of life and stillness.

Collectors interested in digital art or contemporary video pieces will find this work significant due to its unique approach and artistic intent. Its rare format within Tillmans's oeuvre adds to its appeal for those focused on modern artistic expressions.
