ガゴシアン・ギャラリーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ガゴシアン・ギャラリーInstagram)「#TarynSimon: “A Burn Scar Visible from Space” opens today at Gagosian, Davies Street, London! The exhibition presents photographs from Taryn Simon’s ongoing series “Black Square,” begun in 2006. In these photographs, Simon presents objects, documents, and individuals in a black field given the same dimensions as Kasimir Malevich’s 1915 painting of the same name. Selected without any intentional categorization, Simon’s subjects form a randomized index of human invention and activity. They are fragments of recent history—detached from context and freighted with anxiety. Find out more via the link in our bio. __________ #Gagosian Taryn Simon, "Black Square XXI. The billion dollar bill was printed during Zimbabwe’s political and economic crisis at the turn of the century, a period in which the value of the Zimbabwean dollar (ZWR) plummeted, leading to hyperinflation. The ZWR banknote was redenominated three times between 2006 and 2009. The largest note printed by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, the ZWR 100 trillion, dropped from an initial value of approximately 30 American dollars to a low value of approximately 35 American cents. In 2009, Zimbabwe abandoned the ZWR for a combination of domestic bond notes and multiple foreign currencies. Ten years later, Zimbabwe attempted to stabilize a newly created domestic currency by banning the use of foreign currencies altogether. In the face of political unrest and economic anxiety, many Zimbabweans have elected to hide their money or send it out of the country. As a result, Zimbabwe is quickly going cashless as it moves towards a full-scale digital economy.," 2018, archival inkjet print, 31 3/4 × 31 3/4 inches (80.6 × 80.6 cm) © Taryn Simon」8月19日 18時04分
