Lot Essay

Everybody looking at the pictures tells me “Thomas, you’re interested in painting here.” But no, it’s not about painting. I’m interested in realism. The images are very realistic simply because of the precision of the camera. But at the same time, they’re absolutely fictional. I never worked on landscapes, and suddenly I had landscape images from very far away.’
