Two works: Zero Cruzeiro

Cildo Meireles' *Zero Cruzeiro* presents banknotes printed with a face value of zero, challenging the inherent systems of economic value and exchange that govern society. By mimicking the appearance of official Brazilian currency, Meireles exposes the arbitrary and constructed nature of monetary worth. The work functions as a sharp political and conceptual critique, reflecting the artist's broader engagement with power structures and the circulation of objects within everyday life.
