Two-sided C-print, 2008, 5 copies
For Periferic 8 - Contemporary Art Biennial, Iasi a publishing house was founded by the name of KUNST=KAPITAL that issued its first multiple “Joseph Beuys Edition Iaşi”, which worked in a self-service way offering the visitors the possibility to create - using their banknotes - their own copies of KUNST=KAPITAL’s first signature edition. The photos presented at ARTmART are documenting this project.
