Usually, banknotes depict the main symbolic phenomena for the country that issues them - the greatest politicians, writers, artists, public figures, scientists, scientific discoveries, architectural masterpieces, sports achievements, etc. Here's to tell on banknotes about what the planet is now worried about, and the newspaper suggested to authors from all over the world The guardian.
The British newspaper The Guardian recently invited famous artists and designers from different countries to create their own concepts of banknotes, rethinking existing world currencies. Their main goal was to be the desire to reflect the modern economic and social environment, political situation and phenomena from the popular culture of planet Earth.
Judging by the works presented, it turned out that in our time, no one cares about politics at all. None of the new banknotes featured a single politician. But there were many cultural figures, including modern ones.
Many works have been devoted to animals. Most of them are endangered species. And it is logical - when else to put out money, if not now? After all, soon these animals may not stay at all!
Some of the works commissioned by The Guardian by artists and designers focused on the value of money as such. So, in the middle of one of the banknotes there is a hole, which symbolizes the conceptual emptiness hiding behind it. And on the other of the bills it is written that it was not issued by a state bank, but by a sperm bank.
Well, and, as you might expect, some of the works were devoted to the opposition of ninety-nine percent of ordinary inhabitants of the Earth to one percent of the richest. Recall that we have already told on the site Kulturologia. Ru about similar anti-capitalist Occupy George dollars circulating at Occupy Wall Street rallies and the like.
