Synopsis
Simone Demandt has proved sufficiently that she is a master in her field; yet, everything is different about the photographs in this series, reproduced here in this slender volume for the first time. The studio had to be set up extremely quickly and often provisionally. Additionally, it was not possible to rig up any lighting, so things had to be improvised. Ultimately, the scale and weight of objects that Simone Demandt wanted to photograph were of unpredictable size and inconsistent weight. Lastly, it also took some persuasion on the part of the photographer to worm her way into the evidence room where she was able to photograph the silent witnesses, mostly the murder weapons. One condition was that none of the objects could be paired with a crime, i.e., a story or circumstances. What the photographer has captured in this adventurous research is nothing short of astounding. Many objects immediately reveal the possible background to the crime; other pieces of evidence are so nugatory that nothing much springs to mind. The image of a detached yet specific moment in time is manifestly divided here; history and function slip away from our grasp most wondrously in the narrow scope of this cardboard studio.

Simone Demandt : Instrumenta Sceleris (German/English)
Seller: Antiquariat UEBUE, Zürich, Switzerland
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 25 x 22 cm, 104 Seiten/pages mit 63 farbigen Abbildungen, Klappenbroschur - Simone Demandt ist eine Meisterin ihres Fachs, das hat sie hinlänglich bewiesen. Und doch ist bei den Fotografien dieser Serie, die erstmals in diesem schmalen Band abgebildet werden, alles anders. Das »Studio« musste extrem schnell und oft auch mehr als provisorisch aufgebaut werden. Zudem konnte keine Beleuchtung eingerichtet, oft konnte nur improvisiert werden. Die Objekte schließlich, die Simone Demandt zur Ablichtung bringen wollte, entsprachen nie einem vorhersehbaren Maß und hatten immer völlig unterschiedliche Gewichte.
