Thomas Demand

In 2026, Thomas Demand will present a new exhibition in Berlin, exploring the fragility of visual representation. The artist is renowned for his meticulous photographs of paper models, architectural and theatrical replicas constructed with obsessive precision. Each work is photographed before being destroyed, thus creating paradoxical images, both familiar and strange. This time, Demand is particularly interested in the impact of images on our perception of reality, notably through new techniques such as the use of copper. The exhibition, presented by Sprüth Magers, is the result of an investigation into the relationship between photography, memory, and the images that shape our collective consciousness. The event takes place as part of Gallery Weekend Berlin and marks an evolution in Demand’s artistic approach, integrating themes of theater and opera. A unique opportunity to contemplate works that challenge our relationship with the image.
