Both works: C-print, Diasec

The images of the five-part Klause depict views of the exterior and the interior of a small-town tavern where a murder had been committed. The absence of individualizing marks (like writing, signs of wear or of human presence) that characterizes almost all of Demand’s works, has a double function here: while it announces the constructedness of the image, it also heightens the observer’s sense of searching for a forensic clue.
