3o / Cultural belongings: that never belong to you - {$M} Installation

Leni Smoragdova {$M} is the original name of the artist, and also - through Transaction Art - a collective name for numerous anonymous authors. The originality of each and the anonymity of those who wish to remain so are linked into a brand, and this happens unnoticed. Anonymity is emphasized by the term Hidden Faces. In the photo series “Collection of Figures: Different Versions” the artist becomes a model and a photographer. “Inglourious Basterds: Warm Stops” is an ongoing action that lasted five years in support of human rights within one city. Over these five years, art actions were created according to the scenario of the artist or her accomplices, and often the townspeople themselves became anonymous co-authors, thereby developing the project and inviting new anonymous authors, hidden faces, to participate. The Transaction Art Universe is gradually being created with its main characters: animals (mixed races) and people - holograms Hidden Faces, whose main activity is to record and archive all transactions that humanity makes, turning them into an element of evidence. Under the influence of personal and world events, the artist creates works that receive a new reading - they become part of the statistical archives of the Transaction Art universe. Why should I pursue for a million when I can rule the transaction art Universe? A designation: Transaction - simple bank or business operation. The main points. We are children of war. War is money, money has no face. It's as simple as the Transaction, we are the children of the Transaction, we are the children with hidden faces. - {$M} Why should I pursue for a million when I can rule the transaction art Universe? Reading the code of the matrix, with whom or what you can make a deal, conduct a Transaction in order to gain a foothold in modern society. The heroes of the transaction world - living and dead, people and animals, - are deprived of Transaction codes, like mirrors, they absorb and reflect everything that happens in the "black mirror". They are extras and observers, they are the children of the Transaction, they are hidden faces. Transaction art has an official language. The alphabet consists of all world currencies symbols, pronounced as Hebrew. Before the title of each work, you can see codes consisting of numbers, signs, and letters. This is a reference to accounting. When the product arrives at the warehouse, it receives an individual code.
