Thomas Demand

Thomas Demand

Born: 1964 in Munich



Archive 1995


Thomas Demand creates life size models of architectural spaces or historical places where events have taken place. This photo archive caught my eye by the symmetrical balance of the photo its a simple photography but it has a lot of characteristics to it and the meaning behind this photo isn't what i would've thought. when i first saw this photo i thought it was just a place filled with public records of blank books. But this is a recreation of the Nazi propagandist and filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl's personal inventory. it wasn't what i thought it was but i just liked how the photo for what it is and not the background behind the image. Even the lighting of the photo is lit strangely that adds to the photograph.
