Afterword traces the fortune of a 356kg pile of 100,000 pennies through a series of international events that occurred between 2018 and 2021. Presented as a webpage archive, the work draws on a collection of images, letters, videos, print articles, crime reports, and retrieved internet articles from the global media coverage of Brownsted’s public intervention Pence Sterling (2018).
Organised in a factual timeline that begins with a dilapidated public fountain in Cambridge city centre and concludes with the forced closure of Chinese free-press newspaper Apple Daily, Afterword is the digital record of an unfolding social experiment on value, freedom and the politics of finance.
