Anti-theft Painting (2011)

This series results from appropriation of the images of observes and reverses of banknotes marked by an anti-theft device in explosions of ATM’s. After an authorization issued by the Currency Department of the Central Bank, photographic reproductions were made.

A color selection subtracts from the image the yellow and orange hues, highlighting in this accidental expression everything that makes money worthless. Pictorial trace as a leftover of a furtive social landscape. Editions of bills were printed and distributed in 2011, Casa França-Brasil; 2012, Capacete; 2016, Solar dos Abacaxis, and 2018, Villa Medici.
