A bull market refers to a market that is on a rise. But bull markets can be supported by speculations and also partly by manipulated information. My work, "Information Bull" has a glittering look of gold leaf surrounded by information from newspapers.
Despite protection from the museum glass picture frame, the newspapers will gradually turn yellow due to aging from the sun. This is also a part of my concept. By this, I am showing that all information will someday become old and outdated.
