Description:
GOLD CARD 2006

24k gold & brass, edition of 2
8.5 x 5.5 x 0.2 cm

he GOLD CARD is cast from 24k gold into the shape of a credit card. The 
numbers on the face depict its chemical and physical properties as a well 
as its market value for the first day of 2006 (see diagram). 

The credit card has become a powerful symbol of our times, with its personalised 
magic numbers and memory swipe band on the back, it affords us infinite 
possibilities. It buys desires, makes us see new places and shapes our 
very destiny. 
To turn this very object, which holds no direct physical value in itself, 
 into a precious object, questions the notion of value and valuables.
