Fespa Digital/Fruit Logistica

Le livre

In February 2011, German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968) decided to pay a visit to Fruit Logistica, the most important convention in the international fruit trade, held annually in Berlin. More than 2,400 fresh produce companies gather at the convention, presenting a dazzling panorama of texture and color. I was left open-mouthed by the crazy displays and the variety and complexity of the international fruit trade and its processing machinery, he records. I reacted with my camera straight away. The resultant 66 color photographs are published here for the first time.
