Thomas Demand

Makes all these photographed installations out of coloured card and paper. Most are life sized and exact replicas of photographed spaces which actually existed at some point in time. Almost like sets to an audience, these paper sculptures appear to be real to the camera. This draws attention to photography's inadequacies in dealing with texture, space and reality. It also reveals the assumptions we make about the authority of the photograph, or in fact any for of representation.



I love the theatricality of these artworks, but also their simplicity - which is often lost in such detailed and intricate installations. Demand saves his extravagence for behind-the-scenes, and the final photograph is actually quite humble and believable.

Miranda July

Me and You and Everyone We Know
I still haven't managed to get my hands on the entire film but the clips available on youtube are wonderful, this intro sequence especially sets a great mood and I love the way Miranda July tells a simple story of ordinary people with such basic film techniques, and manages to make it seem so special.

Amie Dicke

Amie Dicke cuts these beautiful collages out of magazine photographs. Not only are they lovely but they make a pretty loud statement about glossy supermodel beauty, and are super original! Lots more and heaps of other clever things on her website.

Stencils



This cute little image plays around with stencils beautifully, and I love the idea of working a detailed landscape image into the simple cut out forms of a silhouette
