A Makeshift World: On Thomas Demand by Barry Schwabsky
Not that he cultivates the look of the amateur snapshot: nothing seems accidental or haphazard here.
But rather than availing himself of the camera's potential for an inhumanly penetrating apprehension of surfaces, he evokes what one might call a normal, technically competent but unfetishized mode of looking.
The photographs pretend to be a little less carefully made than they really are.
