Edition Survival 16

UNorJUSTNESS A (Finance) is a work consisting of three elements remaining in visual or acoustic contrast with each other. They show three ways of earning or “making” money:
1. worker (palm oil plantation, Indonesia)
2. trader (Commodities Trading, Switzerland)
3. investor (CopyTrader Promotion, worldwide)
All three forms of earning money only appear to be unconnected. In the globalised world, workers in Indonesia produce palm oil, which Swiss traders sell to other parts of the world. Switzerland is the main platform for commodity trading, which is fuelled by investors from all over the world. These three films use a purely documentary style to illustrate three ways of making money: physical work, non-physical (white-collar) work, and the promise to earn money without any work (CopyTrading for small investors). When looking at the installation by Georg Klein and Steffi Weismann, a question comes to mind: What is commensurateness in the economic world?
