Art exhibition: Saga of Seven Bank Notes 2009-2011by Lilli Kinnunen, Valtionhotelli

The photo series Saga of Seven Bank Notes sheds light through the most central subheadings of my lifelong story through the numbers and images in bank notes. The symbols drawn on note paper structure my memory traces which feed the intuitively proceeding reconstruction of meanings in a semiotic context. Bank notes as two-sided signs and experiential knowledge as a choice-enabling means of exchange spurred my graduation as Master of Fine Arts in 2010.
