Originally made for the Intimacy show @sciencegallerydublin this is the first issue of digital Z Relationship ZollaRs.
What if profit making had no numbers, and instead the very relationships that bind us together became the basis for our money? Does monetary value always have to be based on economic growth or can we use a more human, personalized, backing for the value of money? What does an economic exchange look like if everyone feels differently about the value on the face of a bill (dollar/euro/pound)?
How can you spend your relationships: erotic, fellowship, superficial, friend, hate or love?
Since 2007 the Z Relationship Monetary System has taken the established numerical sequential value out of money along with our predetermined understanding of financial worth. Instead it replaces the numerical idea of value with an inevitable part of life; our relationships. It turns value into something very personal indeed; an intimate assessment of the relationships in our lives.
