Biography - Brandon Bandy (b. St. Louis, MO) is an artist and publisher in Long Beach, California. Brandon’s practice confronts ideas of the virtual, visual conventions, and artistic production amidst the domination of online platforms and erosion of institutions. Often centering site, perspective of the lens, and memetics, Brandon’s works are unfixed, often synthesized from contemporary folklore or metadata and shifting form as they undergo stages of mediation. Brandon co-operates Special Effects, a publishing studio producing art books and editions and organizes exhibitions at LA-based gallery, Timeshare, with Rachel Jackson. Brandon received a MFA from University Of California, Riverside and is currently a lecturer at California State Univeristy, Bakersfield and Fullerton.

Notes:

This work is derived from the 2019 story of Ghislaine Maxwell’s “photoshoot” at a Universal City In-N-Out burger and subsequent New York Post article. First published 5 days after Epstein’s death, the photographs seems to be constructed as some kind of red-herring, pointing those searching for her in the wrong direction. The origin of the image unclear, it seems to originated from Meadowgate Media Investments, a corporate filing operated by Maxwell’s former lawyer, Leah Saffian. Little information about the corporation is available aside from incorporation details, addresses, and the records of two shipping containers of goods imported from China. Within the image Ghislaine is reading “The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives”, with a poster for “Good Boys” located on a bus stop just visible over her shoulder. Allegedly there was never a poster for “Good Boys” at that bus stop, but coincidently the film is reviewed within the issue of New York Post which first published this story. These works are the traces of my engagement with this story. This project is ongoing, taking multiple forms with a publication forthcoming in 2026.
