Constructed Reality Semi-Contemporary Photographer Presentation: Thomas Demand

Thomas Demand

Born 1964 in Munich, Germany.

Thomas Demand is a German sculptor and photographer. He commutes back and forth from Berlin and Los Angeles. He is most known for making photographs of 3D models that appear to be real images of rooms and other various spaces. He studied sculpture, and began photography to record his elaborate life-sized paper and cardboard constructions of different environments. He would not display his actual models, but only the images of his creations. He works a lot with pre-existing press images and or culture and political relevance to society. He did not only do photography and sculpture, but also his work consisted of films, working with architects on projects, and comprehensive exhibitions.
