In a world where financial flows are increasingly virtual, paper money resists, and remains material, cotton, ink, the work of men. Véronique Ellena observes the relationship of men to their task. She chooses gestures that she asks the workers to “hold”, as one plays a role, as a dancer holds a position, suspended, sometimes hieratic. His photography explores the relationship of the body to the tool and the workspace. The small denominations appear as multiple and unique works of an art industry that we are used to exchanging as feverishly as indifferent to the grain of the sheet, the finesse of the engraving, the quality of printing.
