Thomas Demand was born in 1964 in Munich. He attended the Akademie der Bildenden K?nste in Munich from 1987 to 1990, the Staatliche Kunstakademie D?sseldorf from 1990 to 1993, and Goldsmiths College in London from 1993 to 1994. Originally trained as a sculptor, he developed a photographic practice involving the construction of life-size models of architectural interiors out of paper and cardboard. The range of architectural types and subject matter represented by these models?many of which are based on mass-media imagery?has gradually expanded over time. Room (1994) simulates the bunker where the last failed attempt was made on Hitler?s life; Corridor (1995), the hallway leading to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer?s apartment; Office (1996), the East Berlin headquarters of the Stasi secret police; https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/artist/thomas-demand
