This edition, consisting of five prints, presents different perspectives of a maquette of Thomas Demand's Space Simulator (2003), a work that refers to the Apollo simulator used in the 1960s. Demand examines the concepts of authenticity and representation by tracing the transformation process from reality to photography and model to reconstructed imagery. The cubist look and the simulation character of the work open up a multi-layered reflection on the tension between reality and illusion.
