Work
Thomas Demand is known for his unique approach to photography, making photographs of three-dimensional models look like real images of rooms and other spaces. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/arts/sites/artes_mundi/pages/thomas_demand.shtml] [http://books.google.com/books?id=QW_IW_Aync4C&pg=PT198&dq=%22Thomas+Demand%22&as_brr=3&sig=ACfU3U3yozUMttn28msjgutvIIABnkm1iQ#PPT198,M1] The subjects represented in Demand’s photographs often relate to scenes of cultural or political relevance. Often no sign of human is seen in his pictures. [http://books.google.com/books?id=VVrjWBseijYC&pg=PA307&dq=%22Thomas+Demand%22&as_brr=3&sig=ACfU3U3lCt_EGq7lBnigaXXaSJZDofLMEA]
