Before money there was credit, credit is based on trust, trust
is based on appearances.
The Aspirant is an exact copy or facsimile of a another book
(Graeber, David, Debt. The First 5,000 Years. Brooklyn, NY.
Melville House, 2011), which is, in turn, a comprehensive study
on the nature of credit and debt.
The Aspirant pretends to be something else, approaching
another object in aesthetic terms. If it succeeds, if its
convincing enough, all the effort made in this approach (eg, all
the working hours immersed in the object, its potential value
as art or its cost of production) will go unnoticed.
