I Turned Water Into Banknotes And Gold Bars To Raise Awareness About Our Most Valuable Resource
I turned water into banknotes and gold bars as a reflection on the value of water, and the privatization by companies of our most valuable resource. Value of Water is a look at our future and our relationship to money and water.
Clear and transparent water as we know it is now a thing of the past and drinking water has become a real privilege in a world overwhelmed by pollution. Water is no longer a right, but a private good, marketed and subject to speculation. Water has become a luxury reserved for an elite, a safe haven just like gold.
My project Value of Water has two facets. The first as an ephemeral artwork, made of ice. The second as a perennial artwork, made of transparent resin, allowing the presentation to the public.
I’m Parse/Error, I’m a French artist exploring the relationships between human, nature, and technology.

You should definitely read "The water knife" by Paolo Bacigalupi. It's a really good story about possible (and probable) future where the most precious thing is the water and everyone is willing to kill for it.

The banknotes look really thin. How do you do them without breaking the ice?

For both ice and resin versin, you just need to be really cautious ;)
