are works of art in their own right,
showcasing the skill of the engraver that makes the plates the notes are printed from,
with that in mind endless
loop of lines, ornate motifs, emblems, and historical figures converge in a
hypnotic animation by Los Angeles-based director Lachlan Turczan,
with Blake Mills’s
subdued track “Money Is The One True God,” the music video is comprised of
high-resolution scans spliced together,
the
compilation reveals colourful snippets of currency from 23 countries dating from

“The age of
exploration leads to industrialization, wonders of the world are replaced by
office buildings, and icons of freedom stand in stark contrast to images of
slavery,” he says,
“The project culminates with the collective eyes of all world leaders staring back at the audience.”
for the full HD video have a look here,
although for my money I would have preferred Money God, above, by Big Pig, from their album Bonk, but what do I know? “Money
Is The One True God” is just one of Turczan’s music videos, which you can watch
on Vimeo and Instagram.
