Like many of his contemporaries, his work investigates the nature and process of photography while exploring the role of the media in our culture. Demand begins his process with images of highly charged locations, usually interiors. He obtains these images from a variety of sources, including newspapers, the Internet, and even his own memory. Demand then builds life-size paper and cardboard models of these places, which in turn become the 'subjects' of his large-scale photographs. While the artificiality of these images may not be immediately apparent, upon detailed examination, one can see that details are missing (like light switches), and everything has a hint of peculiarity. In describing his work, Demand has said, 'The surroundings that I portray are, for me, something untouched - a utopic construction. No traces of use are visible on their surfaces, and time seems to have come to a stop.'" - Publisher. Size: 4to. Collectible.

Published on the occasion of the 2000 exhibition Thomas Demand at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Paris. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. Thomas Demand is one of the most important and relevant contemporary artists working today. Demand's starting point is usually an image culled from the mass media, off the Internet, or a low-resolution image discovered in a newspaper or other source during his research. Oftentimes, the picture has become iconic or representative in some way of an importanthistorical, political or culturalevent. He then painstakingly creates by hand,over the course of weeks or even months,afull-size (1:1) sculptural model from colored paper and cardboard. The paper model, in which he deliberately excludes certain specific details, and emphasizes various elements and graphic forms important to the original source image, is then photographed by Demand. This photograph is the final work of art and the paper-model is then destroyed and recycled ("Grotte / Grotto, 2006" is the only existing original paper sculpture). Demand's large-scale photographs deal with our relationship to media in general, and photography in particular. The confluence ofmemory, individualinterpretations and readings, collectivemeanings associated with significant events,are all examined. Hisprocess -- from source material and research, to the meticulous sculptural interpretation, to the final photographic work -- adds to his multi-layered examination ofvisual representation, as well as the problematic"indexical" nature of photography. If one strips away specificity, if the details that allow us to "read" a photograph are reduced to generic bits of unremarkable paper, is the result a denial of what photography intends? If the photograph exists to let us know who we are in space, allows us to decode the details, the light, the "specifics," then Demand turns our perceptions into chaos. In his work, Demand uses sites of historical significance -- visual sites -- and recreates them in painstaking full-size scale models using cardboard and paper. The authenticity of the historical event is suggested, through titles, yet the images are stark and lifeless as enormous vacuums of energy and perception. They are intentionally blank and soul-less, so as to capture the inadequacy of photography's ability to really "capture" historical events. From the publisher: "Behind Thomas Demand's impressive images, fragments of a hyper-realistic and familiar world, appears the singular echo of an 'other reality ,' from the archives, historic, political photos or more generally from media.".

Condition: Wie neu. 1. Auflage. 430 Seiten Buch ist neu, aus priv. Vorbesitz, original eingeschweisst. -----Inhalt:. Hervorgegangen aus der Zusammenarbeit des Künstlers Thomas Demand und des Direktors der Nationalgalerie in Berlin Udo Kittelmann, versammelt der Band Beiträge von Autoren aus den verschiedensten Bereichen des öffentlichen Lebens, die alle etwas gemeinsam haben: Sie gestalteten das Selbstverständnis unserer Republik der letzten Jahre mit. Schriftsteller, Architekten, Historiker, Politiker, Künstler, eine ehemalige Terroristin, Philosophen sie alle sprechen von ihrem eigenen Zugang zur harmlos klingenden Frage ğHow German is it?Ğ. Ausgehend von der Ausstellung "Nationalgalerie" von Thomas Demand, die eine fragmentarische wie subjektive Bildersammlung der letzten Jahrzehnte vorstellte, sprachen die Eingeladenen in einer begleitenden Veranstaltungsreihe jeweils zu einem Thema, das direkt auf ihre Biographien bezugnehmend ein Schlaglicht auf die Ideen und Wahrheiten zu geben versuchte, die von den öffentlichen Diskussionen und Aufgeregtheiten des Tagesgeschäfts oft verdeckt werden. Inmitten von Bildern fallen die Antworten auf solche Fragen anders aus als gewohnt. Der Weltbezug des Museums und dieser Ausstellung macht die vorliegende Sammlung von Texten zu einem besonderen Panorama Deutschlands.
