A German artist by the name of Andreas Gursky photo manipulated laborers to make seem that were over thousands of workers in one building. And the photograph makes you think about where all materialistic phones, clothing, tablets things. I think we all know it comes from but what we do not like to think about is the amount of labor and conditions of the environment.
K Foundation's performance K Foundation Burn a Million Quid , Aug. 23, 1995 Andrew Ruesseth mentions a couple artist including Andy Warhol, and the infamous banana on the wall piece of art. And how much is art worth? A comment on society's values of high art which raises the question of what makes using money in art wrong. Burning it to make a statement that we put so much value in a piece a paper that all it is a piece of paper. Or using precious gemstones that valued high rate already why make a ridiculous medium out of it. Because why not that how most people live their lives thinking about money. Either you have a lot of it or live paycheck to paycheck. And if you live middle class all you do is hope you live to move up or down.
