Incorporating modified detritus — billboard paper,
photomechanical reproductions, wrapping and carbon paper — in its densely accreted, silver - gray surfaces, Ghost Money is a rich representation of urban life that pays particular attention to the «underbelly» economies that are interlaced
with social injustices.
Polke's feeling for the romance of
photomechanical reproduction was what first set me to thinking about his relationship
with Dalí, who also took an interest in the halftone's dot screen.
