Each of these cash machine receipts features a unique star chart of the sky directly overhead at the time of each transaction. Due to the rotation of the earth and the movement of the moon and planets, astronomical bodies appear to constantly move across the sky over time. This makes each star chart unique to each receipt.
This work invites viewers to redirect their attention from immediate concerns about finances to thoughts at the scale and pace of stars and planets—while also providing an opportunity for the celestially shrewd to determine whether the heavens align auspiciously for their impending purchases.
