Pay before you die

Series of one single and two double pictures, c-prints with passepartout in wooden frame, 2008

The photographs are taken in California ghost town Bodie. They witnesses that goldrushes are usually not lasting forever. The title recalls an unspoken business truth of those days that „Selling tools and food for cash certainly earns some money, while by digging for gold may end in a coffin.“
