A story about Thomas Demand
Thomas talked about his work and process at the Hammer Museum this past weekend. He stumbled upon photography in the sense that he was a sculptor first and became a photographer (by necessity, as a way to document his work) second. This eventually led to his current work—photographs derived from public photographs, recreated as life-sized paper sculptures/models, which once photographed are destroyed.
Above he is a bit serious (unlike smiley Mark Ryden) and signing a copy of “Phototrophy.”
