Holmquist's March 2019 exhibition DEALER POSES: Photographed and Remembered[11] at the IG Bildende Kunst gallery,"[12] Vienna, Austria, elaborated on the themes of how public drug dealing is represented in dozens of collages made from press photos including those used to illustrate articles on the artist's exhibitions and interventions, for instance proposing a monument to the park drug dealer.
