#74PhotographerSpotlight: THOMAD DEMAND 📸🎞 With his meticulously-formed large-scale models, the German photographer contemplates the typical spaces that we encounter on a daily basis, from airports to waiting rooms, all rendered in humble paper—a material as generic as the subjects depicted. Demand (*1964) is one of the foremost contemporary German artists. His singular oeuvre merges sculpture and photography and usually relies on found images. The artist, who lives in Berlin and Los Angeles, painstakingly reconstructs the found photographs as three-dimensional, usually life-size models made of paper and cardboard before expertly lighting and photographing them with a large-format camera. The models are destroyed once the work process is complete. The result is an uncanny, hybrid image, both a document of the artist’s process and a reconstruction of a pre-existing reality. #Photography #ThomasDemand #ISTANBUL74
