Three Garages
Thomas Demand's *Three Garages* is a large-scale chromogenic print mounted using the Diasec process, which fuses the photograph to a acrylic glass surface, lending the image a sleek, luminous quality. The work exemplifies Demand's signature practice of meticulously constructing life-size paper and cardboard models of found spaces before photographing and destroying them, resulting in images that appear eerily familiar yet devoid of human presence. The depiction of the mundane suburban garage becomes, through this process, a meditation on memory, simulation, and the uncanny relationship between representation and reality.
