Installation view: 2015 Asian Art Biennial, Taiwan
This work engages museum visitors to playfully yet critically explore a contemporary economic predicament faced by Taiwan’s young people: the high cost of living the “good life” and what it would take for them to literally afford it. Visitors are invited to sit together and cut and glue stacks of simulated Taiwanese bank notes in order to “make money” which they can then “spend” by purchasing souvenir cards that represent desirable life goals: starting a family, buying a car, buying a house, opening a small business, etc.
