The idea that ‘Cash Is King’ shines brightly in Paul Ruosso's debut exhibition in Singapore, ‘Power of Paper’. The exhibited body of work, ‘Asian Bubble’, uses bills from Asian currency to highlight Asia as a growing financial hub and the significant role we play in the global economy.
Ruosso’s works also delves into the delicate boundary between paper and currency, the artist employs these materials as a canvas to craft mesmerising structures, stripping away their monetary purpose and transforming the bills into mere sheets of paper.
In a world undergoing rapid digitalisation, this exhibition also touches on the possibility of conventional currency bills evolving into unfamiliar objects in the near future.
