He became famous internationally in 2001 with The Battle of Orgreave , the re staging a violent confrontation between striking miners and police, the early 80s took place. In 2004 he won the Turner Prize, one of the most important awards in the art world. In his film Memory Bucket , he conducts a study of people and customs in the home state of the then US President George W. Bush .

Away from the metropolises, he uses artistic means to record important cultural and political events in order to take a personal look at customs and local handicrafts. Or he makes the audience part of his work as part of his exhibition.

Deller played in the British pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2013. There he organized parades, opened an archive for folk art and showed amateurish murals .
