About the original:
The original is a little smaller than the edition of 42 as it contains the actual currencies. It was made with various international fiat, gently shimmering metallic inks and certified Moon Dust (on the whale body). Including beautiful, poetic elements of the Weimar Republic Banknotes from 1908, as well as the Zimbabwean Dollar (the aggressive fish) - both of which are currencies that famously hyper inflated in their respective countries.
Fiat used:
USD, GBP, EUR, YEN, CAD, AUD, RUB, ETB, CNY, INR, Weimar Republic Banknotes, Zimbabwean Dollars
