CURRENCY

ABOUT THE SERIES

A timeline of Peruvian history in the decade of my birth told with bills that increase from Ten Intis to Five Million Intis.

A metaphor of the chaos that was growing exponentially in our country in those years.

 

A childhood surrounded by these bills that are still sometimes found in piles, hidden in closets of grandparents who are no longer there, kept with the hope for a future that never came.

 

A bill that one week was served to feed a family and the next was exchanged for candy at the school kiosk.

 

A lesson in the value of things.
