Résumé:
Architects’ mock-ups typically represent an abstracted, idealistic vision, and their models are generally understood as filtered interpretations of the environment, which tend toward the utopian. For this publication, conceptual artist and photographer Thomas Demand visited the untidy office of SANAA in Tokyo several times, exploring the aggregated environment he found there, where paper and discarded cardboard – the thought process of every project – survives in a sedimentary layering of materials. The resulting series of photographs shows an abstracted landscape of architectonic forms, devoid of human scale or reference, yet resonating with the language of creativity.

Despite the informality of the situation in which the subjects are captured, each individual meets the camera’s gaze with a sense of self-assurance and openness that reflects the trust that was quickly gained in each situation. The images reveal the crucial affinity between his camera and the technical skills and athleticism on display – a generous understanding of creativity and technique that goes beyond conventional boundaries and in which the distinction between practicing and performance becomes unimportant.
