On September 15, 2008, the American bank Lehman Brothers, a monument of global finance, collapsed, leaving behind a hole of more than 600 billion dollars. What Wall Street fears most becomes reality: a major bank goes bankrupt, throwing financial markets and the global economy into a huge unknown.
The story of the fall of an institution so established, so ancient and so important that it was believed to be eternal is fascinating. The bank had largely participated in the dissemination of so-called “subprime” products.
This giant bank card brings together the quintessence of the endless appetite of outrageous capitalism...
This work is produced with “TouchFeel” 3D printing technology to highlight the elements that compose it.
We even hid some secret codes there!

Because a certain Pablo said “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”,
And we said to ourselves that he wasn’t entirely wrong.
Because history is nothing but an eternal recommencement,
And that modern art will succeed contemporary art.
Because the expression “Pop art” is no longer an abbreviation for “Popular art”,
And that by nature what is popular should be accessible to all.
Because claiming to break the codes is as ephemeral as Street art,
And that the greatest artist in the world is unaware of it.
Because we don’t have the claim to reinvent the codes, but to play with them,
And that we draw our inspiration from popular iconography.
For all these bad reasons we wish to offer you our inspirations, our art, to provoke an emotion, a feeling, revive a good memory or create it…
