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.)
