From a fragment of text by Adam Smith, transcribed in vinyl cut on the wall, some of the pasted letters are extracted to form a new paradoxically poetic text. With the extracted letters, a pile of remains is set up on an iron shelf.

With the subtraction of keywords from the canonical text of liberalism that defends the ability of the market to self-regulate and the non-intervention of the state in economic affairs, its original significant capacity is nullified. Hence, a whole technical language associated with economic theory becomes a poetic text. Words, stripped of their original meaning, acquire new connotations. No one could suspect the origin of the text because the manipulation to which it has been subjected deactivates all its ideological discourse.
