Clara's Promises
Extract:
“The series ‘Promises’”, she explains, “represents the expression of the contemporary need to understand the world of finance, which for many of us is so obscure and hard to interpret”. That’s why in her works the details of the banknotes are enormously enlarged [...} on one hand, the banknote is the promise to pay the bearer a sum of equal value; on the other hand the photograph is the promise that what was photographed had really existed. Today, with the establishment of the digital techniques, we all know that not all the photographs have a correspondence in the real world, and the same happens with money: nevertheless, we still accept money and pictures for their nominal value, believing in the promises they carry with them”.
