Reading ‘Capital’ is one of the artist’s many works, in which the symbolic point of reference is the head of Karl Marx, based always on the same template. Each of these works has a different symbolic mission. The commentary that appears is at all times dialectic. Marx was perhaps right; yet, simultaneously – due to the manipulation that he was subjected to – he was wrong. In this work, the process of the transmission of Capital has been turned into a dribble.
