Tim Bengel uses gold in his works to charge them with cultural and symbolic significance. For him, gold is not just a material, but a carrier of wealth, power, and value, which takes up historical associations while simultaneously commenting on current social phenomena. Through the targeted use of gold, Bengel creates contrasts between transience and permanence, between the mundane and luxury, and invites the viewer to reflect on consumption, status, and the spirit of the age.
