Abgang/Exit
Thomas Demand's *Abgang/Exit* presents a meticulously constructed photograph of a paper and cardboard model depicting an institutional stairwell or passageway, rendered in the artist's signature style that blurs the boundary between reality and simulation. The scene is devoid of human presence, yet the mundane architectural space carries an unsettling tension, its smooth, textureless surfaces revealing the artificiality of the fabricated environment. Printed as a large-scale chromogenic print and mounted behind a Diasec face, the work challenges viewers to question the nature of documentation, memory, and the constructed image.
