Monument to The Victims of Capitalism

An itinerant participatory art project by Alicja Rogalska. It includes a growing archive of designs for Monument to The Victims of Capitalism proposed by the general public during performances in public spaces and submitted online.

This website was kindly supported by the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program and Temporary Gallery Centre for Contemporary Art in Cologne

The first edition of Monument to The Victims of Capitalism was commissioned by SACO05 Antofagasta Contemporary Art Week. The project referred to the history of Chile as the first neoliberal country in the world. Passers by were invited to donate coins, to be melted and used as the physical material for the future monument, and to share their ideas for its shape in a book, in the form of drawings, descriptions or comments.

One idea could be to create a memorial with everything that represents capitalism. I suck at drawing, so I can't represent it with pictures.
some ideas:
-3 people:
A person with obesity with a lot of money in their hands with an expression that gives off aura of ambition and competence.

Another person (a women): slender, tall blond, wearing a lot of make-up and holding in her hands a bunch of bags with designer clothes.

Last person: sitting in a chair, eating junk food, and staring at a small TV screen showing a reality show.

It could be a person (preferably faceless, so that it represents no specific person) that finds themself in an elevated position with an impressive posture, surrounded be people offering things like their hearts (literally giving the most important thing to this faceless being, which is capitalism). And this entity wouldn't be able to preserve them (the hearts would represent happiness). Of course, the people would also give other offerings, such as their sweat, their tears, their suffering etc.

A monument should be inside every person, to wake up, to realize how capitalism ruins us and to understand how we- even if we don't like it- feed it.

A change of political and personal ideologies.
-To receive people, everything should first be prepared for their arrival. Hospitals should be aware of how many people are entering and how well facilities are prepared. We lack of social awareness
in respect to our brothers and sisters who've succumbed to dugs and alcohol.

My idea is a person tied up in chains, wearing a top hat, and eating money. The memorial for the victims of capitalism should be based on money because everything is, ultimately, connected to it, and we should try to stay away from it a little bit more. And this is a call for us to enjoy the simple things in life.

One idea is to show the inequality in the city since, according to the surveys, the average income in Antofagasta is the same as in many developed countries. You can show the disconnect between the capitalism that is experienced in the city and the capitalism that is experienced in other sectors.

The animal that represents capitalism best is the raven, which eats on a whim and not because of necessity. The feather pen represents human beings and their intelligence.
My idea is a raven with a feather pen in its beak. It would represent capitalism consuming human intelligence.

I believe that we, as people, should generate wealth because if we don't, we will go back to the Stone Age.

The memorial should represent elements from the entire American continent. Antofagasta, as a paradise for those who dream and hope for economic consolidation, is a home to many shanty town communities. Because of this, memorial should show the sorrow, the resistance, and the struggle for a better, more just, and more decent present as well as future.
The memorial should represent the richness of our cultures, the wisdom of Pachamama and Nuke Mapu, and that lands of indigenous people.

Your status does not concern me, and it's not because I'm selfish but because I'm openly opposed to capitalism.
