Christodoulos Panayiotou, “Shredded money”, 2008
The dune-like installation (5 meter hight and 7 meters diameter) consists of shredded bank notes. Following an agreement with the Central Bank of Cyprus, shredded Cypriot pounds were collected in January 2008 when the country entered the Eurozone. The work which represents the whole wealth of the Island at this transitional moment comments on the charged historical moment and the specific symbolic value of the cypriot currency.

I had not planned to sleep until morning, but the rest felt good nonetheless. I bid everyone farewell, promising to make haste to Whiterun. If I am lucky, I could easily be back home within the next few days with a story to tell at the tavern. I would have liked to been able to continue hunting down my bounty, but with all that has happened I don’t think any would call me a coward for going back now.
Close Inspection: Magnum Contact Sheets
No document gives greater insight into how a photographer shoots and edits than a contact sheet—the direct print, from a roll or negatives, where a film photographer often first sees her work, grease pencil in hand, and marks her best frames. A new book from Thames & Hudson collects a hundred and thirty-nine notable contact sheets made by Magnum photographers, from the nineteen-thirties to the present, some of which are currently on view at the International Center of Photography.
