Money

Drawing up understandings of money

Illustrations and text by Frits Ahlefeldt

Money is ruling the world more and more, both in our thoughts, relationships and daily life. Hiking is a very different logic, than the logic of money. The hiking trails are shared, and most often free. The hikers share both the landscapes and the shelters. And most make their money off-trail, in a very different reality.

Here are some drawings about how money is understood:
