In recent years no other German conceptual artist has received such worldwide recognition through his consistent artistic work as Thomas Demand. His photographic installations, based on complex work processes, range from the search and selection of motifs, through the construction of paper maquettes, to photographs of the completed installation. In an intensive conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Demand provides precise and insightful information on concepts and rules of operation, the reconstruction and reverberation of history, on work processes and studio reality as well as on his significant recent exhibitions.
