150,000 1-cent coins (equivalent to 1,500 Euros) were placed on the floor of an exhibition space, covering 35m2 -by law the smalles area for an apartment in the city of Huesca. Along the walls read a quote from a story by Julio Cortázar, "The Good Investments" ("Las Buenas Inversiones"). The piece was a personal reflection on the meaning of property in relation to laws and regulations, social housing, real estate speculation, and gentrification, among others.
