Thomas Demand


Thomas Demand, a German sculptor known for photographing 3D constructs that look like real location shots. He works in a few medias, them being Photographs of the ‘sets’ he makes, installations and short repetitive films. All of which either depict places that he himself has never been to, or places that don’t really exist. His ‘Presidency’ works that were commissioned by The New York Times depict the famous oval office in America, a place that most people could recognize instantly but have never been to physically. This work is so highly detailed that it looks like either a photo of the actual office or a film set (which I suppose is the point behind the work really.)
