His other work 'Loser' is based on the moment when losing is much more important than winning. A person is the accumulation of what he has lost along with what he has won. In this installation, Dere questions the experience of being the loser by getting 49% of the votes against 51%. It is not known whether this one percentage difference is a choice, a preference or only a destiny. For the sake of rewarding himself, Dere produces a gigantic cockade that is of his own size.
