Inventory / Piggy Bankrupt Luis Molina-Pantin
Referencing urban archeology, collecting, and consumerism, 28 Piggy Banks from Bankrupt Venezuelan Banks is a series of photographs that constitutes a historical panorama of Venezuelan bank failures. These piggy banks, bearing the emblems of their institutions and widely distributed to customers, were designed especially for children. They can be found on the internet and at garage sales and flea markets. Traded between collectors, they allude ironically to the promise of a solid economic future in a country now experiencing some of the highest inflation and currency devaluation rates in the world.
