Participatory installation where the public is invited to throw coins onto plastic bags on the floor, diverting the ancestral rite of throwing coins into water. The sum collected becomes tangible trace of an ephemeral community. Through arbitrary calculation, the work's value is set at five times its actual financial content—a coefficient revealing the arbitrariness of all artistic pricing. "Fontaine" explores links between belief, economy, and participation, transforming ritual gesture into questioning of symbolic and speculative value in art. The medium (money) becomes appropriation tool here, like Duchamp's urinal.
