Thomas Cyrill Demand (born 1964[1]) is a German sculptor and photographer. He currently lives and works in Berlin[1] and Los Angeles, and teaches at the University of Fine Arts, Hamburg. He makes photographs of three-dimensional models that look like real images of rooms and other spaces,[2] often sites loaded with social and political meanings.[3] Demand thus describes himself not as a photographer, but as a conceptual artist for whom photography is an intrinsic part of his creative process.[4]
