Lovers of James Bond – Urdu-Dubbed Fake Movie Poster – Metal Panel

Size:
Depth:

A forged poster from Pakistan’s VCD-era porno circuit, Lovers of James Bond was never a real film but part of a wave of cheaply produced visual bait used to lure working-class audiences, especially migrant laborers, into seedy Punjabi cinemas. Dubbed in Urdu and stitched together from unrelated softcore clips and foreign films, these titles marketed fantasy, espionage, and sex through loud graphics and stolen iconography. This particular artwork reimagines James Bond through a local lens, complete with pulp seductresses and hypermasculine drama, catering to fantasies of escape and virility.

Title: Lovers of James Bond (لوورز آف جیمز بونڈ)
Country: Pakistan
Year: c. 1990s (VCD Era)
Director/Star: N/A (Fake composite film)
Material: Dye-sublimation print on 100% laser-cut aluminum
Dimensions: 24″ × 36″
Finish: Matte
Edition of: 5
Condition: New production

Exhibited in “Spasial Program” at SculptureCenter, New York, June 18 –July 28, 2025.
