PROJECT INFORMATION:

In Business & Investment, Rodríguez constructs symbols that allude to the power and domination of global powers, the Dow Jones index, and the value of paper money. These factors initiate a dialogue about how the current economic crisis is interconnected, leading to a rethinking of paper money as an object that underwent a transformation process by obtaining a fiduciary value that is not intrinsic, but rather has been granted to it. Likewise, the artist suggests the game that exists between certain world powers and the banking system, evoking the economic benefits of different power groups that are probably related to the oil industry, the defense or military sector, tobacco companies, among others; opening a discussion about economic statistics that create fictitious and in some cases unpredictable realities.
