MONEY MAKER

“ The Money Maker performance plays with the desire for money. The desire to enrich oneselves is connected to a socio-political level. Hence, although the bills are the promised profit, they exemplify the continuity of political corruption in Austrian politics.“ (Obsolet)

Als interaktive Print Performance stellte das Kollektiv Obsolet ihr Projekt „Money Maker“ vor. Die Performance adaptierte das Spiel der gleichnamige Fernsehshow, in welcher man in einer Luftdusche möglichst viele Geldscheine in die Taschen packen soll. Aber anstatt echter Geldscheine gibts bei Obsolet selbstgedruckte Blüten. Darauf finden sich österreichische Politiker sowie deren Aussagen rundum Korruption.

„Money Maker“ is described as an interactive print performance by Obsolet, a print/art collective based in Vienna. The performance adapted a game of a tvshow, known by the same name. In that game/tv show players had to catch money in an air shower and stuff it into their pockets. But instead of real money, Obscura printed their own bills. Those bills presented faces of Austrian politicians and their statements concerning corruption.
