Stefanos makes art out of defaced banknotes (see exquisite doodles)

Artworks that are exhibited in people’s wallets and cost the money on which they are spent

Greek artist Stefanos transforms notes with little black ink doodles featuring scenes of suicide, murder, revolt and freedom.

“Observing the Euro banknote landscapes one notices a lack of any reality, whatsoever for the last five years the crumbling greek economy has hatched violence and social decay – so, I decided to fuse these two things. through hacking the banknotes I’m using a european document, that is in cross-border circulation, including greece – thus, the medium allows me to ‘bomb’ public property from the comfort of my home.”

The notes are defaced, scanned for documentation, and then put back into circulation.
