For his pictures of office desks, copy shops, or car parks, Demand creates cardboard replicas accurate to the tiniest detail. His sculptural simulations devoid of people blend a faked reality with our memory of a real one to investigate the concept of virtual reality in our multimedia age. This is his first major monograph.
