Thomas Demand with Jurriaan Benschop

Who is in control of the image? This question is at home in the work of Thomas Demand (b. 1964). The German artist pays meticulous attention to the execution of his sculptural and photographic work. But also as a viewer, while looking at the public images in news- and other feeds, he is interested in the decisions that have been made before we get to see a photo. The two worlds are not unrelated.
