In Conversation: Thomas Demand

YouTube-Video

Thomas Demand’s works move between sculpture and photography, illusion and likeness, fiction and reality: press photos or iconic images from high and pop culture are modelled by the artist out of paper and cardboard; the large-format scenes are photographed and the model is then destroyed.

As part of the European Month of Photography Berlin, we talk to the artist about his working methods, the selection of his motifs and which images currently fascinate him.

In the series “In Conversation. A series funded by Deutsche Bank”, an artist talks about their work on the first Saturday of every month at 3 pm.
