Kinderzimmer / Nursery, 2009
C-Print, Diasec
Thomas Demand used an old slide of his nursery made by his father as template for „Kinderzimmer“. In spite of that the artwork is not a documentation of his youth. Demand concentrated on certain aspects of the old motive and changed many details of the image. In that the artist cleaned the image from personal references and transformed it into a representative image of a West-German nursery in the 1960s.
