TRANSACTION ART

Hidden Faces

A designation: Transaction - simple bank or business operation.

The main points.

We are children of war. War is money, money has no face.

It's as simple as the Transaction, we are the children of the Transaction,

we are the children with hidden faces. - {$M}


Why should I pursue for a million when I can rule the transaction art Universe?

Reading the code of the matrix, with whom or what you can make a deal,

conduct a Transaction in order to gain a foothold in modern society.

The heroes of the transaction world - living and dead, people and animals, - are deprived of Transaction codes, like mirrors, they absorb and reflect everything that happens in the "black mirror".


They are extras and observers, they are the children of the Transaction,

they are hidden faces.

Transaction art has an official language.


The alphabet consists of all world currencies symbols, pronounced as Hebrew.

Before the title of each work, you can see codes consisting of numbers, signs, and letters. This is a reference to accounting. When the product arrives at the warehouse, it receives an individual code.

When a product changes warehouse, the digital code also changes. The same happens with the 

codes in front of each title of the artwork.


The main heroes of the Transaction Art world are people with hidden faces and strange animals.

Transaction types: Information Wars, Wars, Sanctions, Domestic violence, Epidemics, Memories, Statistics, Plastic surgery etc.

“Hidden faces are more powerful than well known persons”

The main heroes of the Transaction Art world are people with hidden faces and strange animals.

Transaction’s Eggs: a whole egg becomes the head of a persons with hidden faces: balancing between the living world with the world of the dead, having the form of a hologram, but a split egg gives birth to a beast.
