Follow the money (Human Needs series)
The piece is a moneybox in the form of a “happy pig”. Looking through the hole where the money comes in you can see a video. The video depict short stories exploring the Cuban reality of today: the slow tempo of life on the island; seniors playing domino in the street; grandma sorting rice by hand; seasonal food cooked at home; things that are repaired again and again and never get tossed away. Cubans take these for granted and they may disappear once money takes over as the single unit to measure things.
