Token

Artist: Alexandra Bodea

Category: Comics

Description:

• Technique: Ink Pen on Board
• Descriptors (tags): object, substitute, currency, fake, artifice, immitation
• Significance: it shows a collection of 91 fake and absurd bill notes (tokens)

a r t i f i c e:Achieving the final design of each token is, in itself, an artifact.

Money were among the first articial objects created by humans, being made of different materials. Their fabrication process involved manual labour and decorative sense. Those 91 tokens in the work are inspired from decorative models of old Romanian banknotes but the official images used on them are changed with unexpected and “antiheroical” images, depicting realities that you usually keep away from the bill notes.
