1+1=0

2009

The work entitled "1+1=0" created in 2009 interrogates the creation and dissolution of value. By hybridizing exchange value objects (1euro coins) and luxury goods (jewels), she creates a third sphere of value.

 

'The destruction of money and of its related value, for the pleasure of turning it into a jewel, projects money on another side of value as such. Inside the very jewel is a competition between value systems: value of luxury, value of money, value of art. As objectual as it is, 1+1=0 remains a node of conflicts and continuities within whatever value can be.' Juliana Borinski
