Became a star overnight: Remscheid's Robin Schneider conquers Tillman's exhibition!

Became a star overnight – Robin Schneider from Remscheid did it. The 29-year-old was selected as the cover model for the current photo exhibition by the renowned world photographer Wolfgang Tillmans. This is by no means a typical model, but rather a dedicated employee of the Dirostahl hall. His large-format picture now adorns the walls of Haus Cleff and is distributed on flyers in town halls, museums and cafés. RGA reports that the exhibition was also shown at the venerable Center Pompidou in Paris.

For Schneider, this experience is a fun but also challenging adventure. He describes it as “cool,” but also describes it as “new territory.” While he sees himself as a modest person, his natural charisma cannot be overlooked. Tillmans, who has a special connection to Remscheid, consciously chose him because of his authenticity and his industrial background.

A look behind the scenes of the exhibition

The business suitability of art is impressively demonstrated in this exhibition. The Albertinum not only shows large-format works by Tillmans, but also numerous small and minute works. The motifs shown range from everyday photographs and landscapes to constellations and still lifes. MDR emphasizes that the exhibition, curated by Dennis Brzek, aims to develop a narrative pull that draws visitors into a fascinating journey.

Hilke Wagner, the director of the Albertinum, emphasizes the social responsibility of art and the unifying message of the exhibition. It becomes clear that Tillmans not only raises awareness of aesthetics, but also of deeper issues such as the gay movement, digitalization and migration. The title of a song in the exhibition – “There’s More, That Connects Us Than Divides Us” – opens up a space for conversation that goes beyond the visual.

A personal success for Schneider

The happily chosen cover model, Schneider, notes that he saw his picture in the exhibition for the first time and it was an impressive moment for him. His mother is proud of him and looks forward to visiting the exhibition together. At the same time, Schneider draws attention to the shortage of skilled workers in the industry, which should be understood as a serious indication of current challenges in the industry. Another aspect that should not go unmentioned is the perception of risk in the financial world: trading assets can involve high stakes. Robinhood warns that investors can lose all of their assets. This insight reminds us that it is not just about art, but also often about the bigger picture and the challenges of life.

Schneider is an example of how the world of art and industry can connect, while Tillmans' work sharpens the focus on social issues. The exhibition is not only a must for art lovers, but also opens the door to important social discussions.
