中文简介：

本书收集了日常但同样陌生的世界的快照。托马斯·德曼德（Thomas Demand）在每张照片的建构过程中倾注心血（制作纸张、纸板模型，将之拍下，最后选择特殊的转染工艺）。这个iPhone快照系列捕捉了日常微小的时刻。从整体上看，它们是一份痕迹清单——消费的痕迹，人刚离开的痕迹，消失的痕迹，遗留物品的痕迹。德曼德把这个系列比作俳句，将简单的片段串在一起激发思考，帮助评估我们的日常生活。这些照片通过最小限度的重复表演引发似曾相识的感觉一样，要求我们重新审视，重新发现一种平凡而富有启发性的美。本书以大尺寸版本将德曼德的全部系列作品汇集在一起，并附有评论家哈尔·福斯特（Hal Foster）的文章。

英文简介：

The Dailies collects snapshots of a world unmistakably our own yet equally strange. Made through Thomas Demand's renowned practice of constructing, photographing, and destroying meticulous paper models, this series captures minor, everyday moments based on iPhone photographs. Viewed together, they are an inventory of traces – signs of consumption, evidence of people just departed or out of sight, spectres of things left behind. Demand describes the series as a form of Haiku: simple fragments strung together to inspire reflection and help us take stock of our daily lives. Just as they trigger deja vu through their performed, minimal repetition, they ask us to look again, and afresh, to discover an ordinary yet enlightening beauty. This new volume brings together the entirety of Demand's series to date in a large-format edition alongside an extended essay by critic Hal Foster.
