One of the most recent events reflected in his art is the Refugee series (2021).

Demand re-created the bleak, generic and paranoia-inducing Russian hotel room presumably occupied by the fugitive US whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The second segment of the exhibition, Dailies, was constructed using images taken with the artist's phone, while the third section, Model Studies, features photographic studies of paper models by architects and a fashion designer.

The final section shows Pacific Sun, a short movie in which Demand uses stop-motion filmmaking techniques to replicate security camera footage of a cruise ship in a storm in the South Pacific.

The exhibition will embark on a world tour after Shanghai, with the first stop being Paris.
