In June 2009 Aschwanden and Stamer accompanied two Chinese banknotes on
their way through China. They recorded their circulation and the encounter with
the temporary holders. Through the path of the money from one hand to the
other, they dipped into the every-day life of more than 40 people with all their
hopes and fears in contemporary China.

In the Vienna version of THE PATH OF MONEY, Daniel Aschwanden and Peter
Stamer take the audience into a communication centre, and lay the table with a
multi-course meal of food, experiences and tales. Hard-boiled and soft-boiled
from the Chinese micro and macro economy for globalised gourmets and those
who would like to be.

THE PATH OF MONEY is supported by: APAP - advancing performing arts project,
Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur Österreich, Haus der Kulturen
der Welt Berlin, Stadt Wien (MA 7 und MA 53), Szene Salzburg and Tanzquartier
Wien. There was presented a version of THE PATH OF MONEY as performative
installation in october in the Berliner Haus der Kulturen der Welt.
