Sea of glasses

The installation
Sea of glasses
is composed of a set of circular water glasses laid on the ground and filled to the brim. At the center over a few glasses are displayed about twenty bank notes folded so that they take the shape of paper boats. This installation is accompanied by a surveillance camera that films paper boats in close proximity. Several more screens displaying these images, are disseminated here and there throughout the exhibition. They represent the surveillance of bank notes. This installation interrogates the value of an artwork all the while raising questions on property's surveillance though the presence of control screens.
