This piece take as its starting point an act of appropriation from the painter Lucio Fontana, whose premise was to create inscriptions on the surface of monochromatic canvases. Instead of a canvas, a euro note is used in this work, which inverts the original meaning of the hole in the canvas as the broadening of the understanding of the pictorial surface to the surface of an object of everyday use and that has special importance in our lives, money.
