German photographer Simone Demandt (born 1959) has created portraits of people and places ranging from children to the elderly and from gymnasiums to scientific laboratories. Regardless of subject, the artist aims to implicate each viewer individually in the process of questioning the image as objective representation. This publication surveys the artist's work from 2002 to 2009.
Featured image is Portrat P in No Child’s Play series, reproduced from Simone Demandt: Turn Round.
"Simone Demandt is interested in conceiving photographic images that target the social, political and individual spheres of each viewer, from whose perspective the process of understanding occurs. To her, photography is not about preservation, storage, or recognition. Instead, it is for questioning and creating doubt; it is about examining the fathomless. This approach naturally involves a multiplicity of techniques, all of which are reflected in Demandt’s intriguing groups of works."
