Receipts - A part of the work 'Disposable income'

These receipts were created using a printing machine.

The poetic nature of the various memories written into them are echo's of a unique human identity which is commodified and codified. The sensation of seeing the cost of a memory is uneasy. The function of this sensation was also mirrored in the emotional aim of the work. To bring awareness to the inhumane nature of commodifying elements of the human. Importantly as receipt was chosen as it is always received after an exchange of goods.

The receipts were placed on a table in front of each audience member who watched the work 'Disposable income'. They were placed there prior to the entrance of the audience and so the audience had a few minutes of reading these before the performance work would begin.
