German photographer Thomas Demand takes photos of places he has never been to, or things that no longer exist.
[...] Another photo titled “Haltestelle” shows a bus stop in Loitsche, a small town in east Germany, where the members of a popular German band Tokio Hotel first decided to form their group. As the news spread, ardent fans came from as far away as Japan to see the bus stop. The city, being poor, decided to sell it on e-bay. No one showed interest when it was on sale as a whole, but when the city chopped it up to a A4-size pieces, every piece soon sold out.
“I found it meaningful that it is not just simply gone but gone in pieces,” said Demand.
Knowing the hidden stories behind his photos definitely make them more interesting.
