Description
Demand's meticulously reconstructed "images" from the real world, using only paper, cardboard and other ordinary materials, which are then photographed, are commentaries not only on the veracity of the photographic image, but on the nature of reality itself. The lavish "Bullion" is therefore not only a continuation of the broad theme of his constructed works, but a concise and insightful representation of a contemporary global economy, where the gold standard not only has disappeared, but "gold" (and riches themselves) are but commodities subject to market whims.
