The catalogue of the first Italian solo-exhibition devoted to the German artist Thomas Demand, born in Munich in 1964.
The volume examines Demand’s unique photographs which are characterized by a continuous shifting between reality and fiction. Photography, sculpture and architecture are combined in his works depicting life-size cardboard models created by the artist, according to a complex passage that leads from the three dimensions of sculpture to the two dimensions. His photographs are ambiguous screens placed at the boundary between abstraction and detail, between formal materiality and two-dimensional illusion. Entering Demand’s images is easy, what is difficult here is finding one’s way out.
