From the Publisher:
Simone Demandt: Turn Round is a survey of the photographer’s works and series from 2002 to 2009. Simone Demandt (*1959 in Dortmund) is not concerned with reproducing reality with her camera, but rather, she is interested in conceiving photographic images that take aim at 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, agreement, or recognition. Instead, it is for questioning and creating doubt; it is about examining the fathomless. This approach implies the usage of a multiplicity of techniques, which can be seen the intriguing groups of Demandt’s works, presented in this volume.
