The ruined landscape of our present appears inscrutable. Nevertheless, this book provides us with a new cartography, accompanied by a political question: what would happen if the ciphered text of our time could only be understood through a condensed monetary code? With this as the starting point, an artistic cryptanalysis of the age of late capitalism unfolds relentlessly. The era of the literal appears to shape forms according to money: all the objects in the world, each one of our most intimate desires and -in short- the entire world itself, suffer a fierce alchemy according to the impulse of a monetary rewriting of life. If money itself is a work of art, what is the place for art in the world of money? With its disturbing answer to this question, this book is a call the final call for the reader to awaken, alongside art, a new politics.
