托瑪斯‧德曼 Thomas Demand：歷史的結舌 The Stutter of History
04/15 @ 9:30 上午 - 05/11 @ 5:30 下午
臺北市立美術館歷經3年規劃，在2025年1月18日-5月11日終於推出德國觀念藝術家托瑪斯．德曼的首次個展。德曼1964年生於慕尼黑，主要在柏林和洛杉磯等地活躍創作，作品以大型的攝影及影像作品著稱。
德曼的創作多取材自知名歷史或社會事件的報導圖片與影片，他先以紙材模型鉅細靡遺地重建現場，最後透過鏡頭的角度與構圖，試圖複製這段歷史場景以回溯所謂的真相，連結觀者的歷史與記憶。
本展覽由獨立策展人道格拉斯．佛格策劃。本展集結藝術家近70件大型攝影作品、壁紙裝置以及2部動態影像，展現德曼處理攝影影像與真實世界之間互為表裡的對位關係，以及他對當代社會中影像文化慣性與認知悖論的提問。
After three years of planning, Taipei Fine Arts Museum is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of German conceptual artist Thomas Demand from 18 January to 11 May 2025. Born in Munich in 1964, Demand primarily works in Berlin and Los Angeles and is renowned for his large-scale photographic and film works.
Demand’s work often draws inspiration from reported images and footage of significant historical or social events. He meticulously recreates these scenes using paper models before capturing them through the lens, using careful angles and composition. This replication process aims to revisit the so-called ‘truth’ and connect the viewer’s history and memories.
The exhibition, curated by independent curator Douglas Fogle, brings together approximately 70 large-scale photographic works, wallpaper installations, and two moving image pieces. It showcases Demand’s exploration of the complex interplay between photographic images and the real world, his interrogation of ingrained image culture, and the paradoxes of perception within contemporary society.
