Eating money, an auction

A performance by Paul Griffiths and Cesare Pietroiusti, with the partecipation of Marco Arosio. A public auction is held. Participants make offers in amounts of money corresponding to the sum of two bank-notes in Euro. The minimum amount is therefore 10 Euros (the sum of the value of two 5 Euro bills) and the maximum is 1.000 Euros (the sum of two 500 Euro bills). The successful bidder with the highest offer gives the two bank-notes to the artists who eat them publicly and promise that, once evacuated, they will be returned to the bidder.
