Jeff Wall, Dressing Poultry, 2007

"'I think of my work as sober, but I don't find it sad or melancholy,' Wall says. 'I try to contemplate things that happen, whatever they happen to be. And I like to work with commonplace material because I think there's nothing as complicated as the commonplace. It's magical to be able to make a picture that imparts a strong aesthetic experience in spite of unprepossessing subject matter. It's much more interesting to conjure something out of nothing."
