Dreaming

Kazna Vekov

I am testing whether banknotes and coins can make a surface about value without looking like a casino costume. The weight, legality, and attachment method all need answers.

Reversible currency study

World currency, exchange, borders, history, and accumulated value

DREAMING / CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEGUN

Kazna Vekov

A dossier before an object. Materials have been named. The workbench has not accepted them yet.

OBJECT RECORD

What exists, and what it does.

I am testing whether banknotes and coins can make a surface about value without looking like a casino costume. The weight, legality, and attachment method all need answers.

The surface treats value as something worn, traded, folded, and argued over. Paper wants air. Metal wants gravity.

PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

Up close, attachment, seams, and wear become visible.

CONSTRUCTION RECORD

Where the surface meets the body.

Materials

World currency, exchange, borders, history, and accumulated value

Weight or current measure

Weight depends on the balance between paper and metal.

Construction

Start with reversible mounts and facsimile tests before any real currency is considered.

Wear

Reversible attachment and snag control come before a full panel.

Care

Paper and metal will require separate support during storage.
