the cave was chosen as a symbol of darkness for the decay of human life by reducing it 
                  to materialistic values. the coin was chosen as the symbol of materialism.

                  the coin and the cave represent the eternal dualism of motion and rest, rich and poor,
                  day and night, being and having.

                  dumb sounds reproduce the cave, the cramped conditions of a money fixed world view.
                  light sounds reproduce a turning coin with its bright shining possibilities which are getting 
                  more tired and shady the longer you focus the coin.

                  distorted harmonies are used as counterpart to obvious fogery-proofed perfection of money.

                  heavy, simplified, dirty and suffered sounds which echo in the cave document the
                  desperation of lost opportunities by wasting life energy on money.

                  "coin in a cave" is a monument to life as object of speculation in a global economy and to 
                  the destroying of money in the new markets.

                  "coin in a cave" is an outcry against the virtual and therefore a manifesto for the real.

                  remember life (and money) is what you make of it.
