[sthlm reference] - Peter Stamer and Daniel Aschwanden performing China's socio-economy

Daniel Aschwanden & Peter Stamer, two performers, chase a 50 RMB bill through China, tracking it down with the help of a device and by their own bodies.

For four weeks in 2009, they accompany the temporary owners of an electronically marked bill, staying as close to it as possible, under the owners' drawers, in their houses, in the streets. Since the bill goes from one hand to another, fuelling the owners' dreams of prosperity, the bill crosses bodies and their discourses, social identities, individual emotions, economic fates, tales of beings. By this, chasing the Renminbi - the "peoples" money - becomes a means to meet people and their individual stories; it takes on a different kind of (face) value: where and, more importantly, who are the people using it?
