The experimental animation film “The Way of Midas” is unique in the world in that it is made entirely of banknote images. But what does this look like in practice? In the previous post, we walked through a specific banknote, the leopard attack, and saw how it is built up element by element. This post lists which public frames of the film are made up of which banknotes.
The clouds: 50 pengő, Hungarian National Bank / The boats in the foreground: 20 pesos, Banco Central de la Republica Argentina / The battle in the background: 20 Bolivares, Venezuela / The water and frame: 100 Rupiah, Bank of Indonesia
Dragon: Union of Burma Bank, 25 kyats / Army: Banco Central de Honduras, 5 tempiras / Clouds: 50 pengő, Hungarian National Bank
Rocks and sea: 5 livres, Banque du Liban / Birds: 1 afghani, Da Afghanistan Bank / Boat: 100 Seratus Rupiah, Bank of Indonesia / Sea: 5 livres, Banque du Liban
