- Thomas DemandA Conversation with Anne Holtrop and Bas Princen
- Abstract
- The work of the German artist Thomas Demand consists of large photographs he takes of temporary, life-sized paper structures he assembles in front of his camera. Once the photo is taken, the paper work is destroyed. The photos show exactly what their titles say: a sink, a camping table, a parking garage. The titles refer to the ‘architecture’ of the scene. Places we know from our collective memory without knowing the place itself. We had the opportunity to conduct a correspondence with Demand about his work and in relation to the theme of this issue: models. A conversation about their materials and their reality, about representation and idea.
