Internationally renowned German artist Thomas Demand is creating a extraordinary installation entitled The Dailies within an iconic Sydney CBD building designed by Harry Seidler. Demand is know for creating painstakingly sculpted environments, settings made with paper and card that he photographs as the basis for his finished artworks. The settings recreate familiar imagery found in the mass media or locations where significant historical or media events have occurred, loaded with political or social meaning. There is a disquieting, calculated realness about Demand’s sculpted scenes and at first glance they appear like regular photographs, betrayed by small turns and folds in the paper that highlight a tension between the real and the fabricated. The latest project presented by Kaldor Public Art Projects will see Demand create a unique new environment as the backdrop for his latest series of artworks.
