Zimbabwe 100 Trillion Dollar Print (Limited Edition Print Of 25#)
 
A collision of currency, character and pop culture built around one of the most notorious banknotes ever produced.
 
This piece takes the instantly recognizable Zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar note and turns it into something completely different. Three notes form the backdrop while the central character runs uninterrupted across the composition, transforming an infamous piece of financial history into a bold contemporary artwork.
It plays with the absurdity of money itself. A note carrying more zeroes than most people will ever see, repurposed as the foundation for an artwork about value, image and culture.
The soft blue tones of the original currency are deliberately contrasted against the stronger reds, blacks and skin tones of the figure, giving the piece enough impact to hold a wall without feeling overworked.
Unlike the original currency works in the Public Issue collection, this piece is produced as an art print and is supplied framed, ready to display straight out of the box.
