Thomas Demand

Thomas Demand Catalogue and Exhibition 2001 / 2002
Publisher's Description
Thomas Demand is a young German photographer (b. 1964) who is
deconstructing the nature of photography itself. In his photographs of still,
immaculate handmade (by himself) paper recreations of actual spaces (an
entrance to an aeroplane, an escalator), demand knowingly uses the traditional
role of photography as a faithful transcriber of the world to throw his subjects
artificially into doubt. in so doing, he eloquently questions - and arguably
provided solutions to - reality, originality, and the fundamental role of the artist.
