‘Money’ continues the Art of Travel concept of creating composites of impressions and objects that have been placed within a culture by the surrounding human inhabitants. They characterize the land, based on the humans branding of the landscape, creating the result of an implied culture that is unique from any other, through signs.
Money is a strong representation of a culture, as it conveys a brief visual indication of a country’s Heads of State and what icons have been chosen to represent its culture. Exploring the money within this collage allows you to explore different country’s culture.
The collage is accompanied with another important feature, which is the money value. The framed LCD screen is feeding from the internet the live total value of the currencies displayed within the collage at any point in time. This comments on the effect a country and its economic situations have on the value of art.
