Lost & Found (Tierra del Mar)

2003 

This is a public action where the artist and his accomplices lose wallets from an imaginary place. First produced by Ikon Gallery in 2003, 250 wallets were lost in Birmingham UK (2003) and 150 wallets in Times Square NYC (2005). Each of these wallets is identical and contains fake ID and money from an imaginary place. A smaller number of wallets we lost in the exhibition 24/7 in Vilnius LI in 2003.
