Initially he took up photography to record his ephemeral paper constructions, but in 1993 he turned the tables by making constructions in order to photograph them. Demand begins by translating a preexisting image, usually culled from the media, into a life-size model he makes out of colored paper and cardboard. He recreates a room, a parking lot, a staircase, a landscape--then he photographs the model and destroys it. Demand's photographs appear at once compellingly real and strangely artificial. Since their subjects--handcrafted facsimiles of both architectural spaces and natural environments--are themselves built in the image of other images, the photographs are three times removed from the scenes they seek to depict. Combining craftsmanship and conceptualism in equal parts, Demand pushes the medium of photography toward uncharted frontiers. Given the cinematic quality of many of his photographs, it is not surprising that he has set some of them in motion, producing five 35mm films. This comprehensive publication presents all of Demand's major works from 1993 to the present. It includes previously unpublished archival documentation, and offers compelling insight into his working process and the stories behind his pictures. 46005 15 3 2005 Thomas Demand total:8|5:2|4:1|3:3|2:1|1:1| 8 26 28 0 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Fri Dec 04 22:24:25 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 04 22:24:25 -0800 2009 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Thu Oct 15 13:01:32 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 13:01:32 -0700 2009 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 1 0 false Tue Oct 13 10:56:29 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 10:56:29 -0700 2009 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 3 0 false Mon Jul 20 05:17:17 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 05:17:17 -0700 2009 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Sat Jun 06 21:09:35 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 21:09:35 -0700 2009 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Thu Apr 23 10:06:24 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 10:06:24 -0700 2009 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 5 0 false Tue Feb 03 13:56:19 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 13:56:19 -0800 2009 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Sat Jan 31 10:03:42 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 10:03:42 -0800 2009 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Tue Jan 13 22:34:07 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 22:34:09 -0800 2009 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Sat Oct 18 04:22:35 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 04:22:35 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Tue Aug 26 13:51:55 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 13:51:55 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Sat Aug 16 11:01:38 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 16 11:01:38 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Thu Aug 14 14:07:55 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 14:07:55 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Sat Aug 02 16:10:06 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 02 16:10:10 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Tue Jul 29 15:53:48 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 29 15:53:48 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 3 0 false Sat Jul 12 00:32:36 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 00:32:36 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Fri May 02 14:21:28 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 14:21:32 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 3 0 false Tue Apr 01 15:34:19 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 01 15:34:28 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Wed Mar 26 06:22:38 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 26 06:22:41 -0700 2008 46935 0870700804 9780870700804 8 0 3.25 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170344062m/46935.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46935.Thomas_Demand 0 0 false Fri Mar 07 21:22:14 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 07 21:22:14 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=46935
