There are thousands, if not millions of people in the world who are engaged in the so-called. "Historical reconstruction" - trying to reproduce whole episodes of history, mainly great battles. And here is the artist Thomas Demand remodeling simpler, but also very noticeable cases. For example, last supper recently deceased singer Whitney Houston … A couple of years ago, on the site Kulturologiya. RF, we talked about the work of Mark Hogancamp, who recreates episodes of World War II with the help of toy soldiers and dolls. Thomas Demand, on the other hand, is interested in the reconstruction of events that are much closer to us, sometimes that happened a few days before the creation of his new work.
For example, in one of Demand's works, the artist reproduced a photograph showing a table with the last dinner of singer Whitney Houston. He scrupulously studied the first principle, published on several sites on the Internet, and created an exact copy of the table with food and drinks depicted on it.
In another of his work, Thomas Demand reconstructed the mess in the lobby of a cruise ship caught in a severe storm in the Pacific Ocean between the islands of Vanuatu and New Zealand in 2008 and badly damaged in the process.
In his works, Thomas Demand studies simple things that find themselves in exceptional situations. The same table with food and drinks looks quite ordinary and completely uninteresting if you do not know that it depicts the last dishes and drinks that the great singer ate before her death. Yes, and the hall of a cruise liner under normal conditions is not very interesting to people outside this ship, until this ship gets into a storm, becoming a legend. The Titanic is a prime example!
