Karaoke, 2001 - Nomeda & Gediminas Urbonas

Karaoke
LT 2001, 15’, DVD, color, sound
This is a karaoke performance of ABBA’s “Money Money Money” sung by volunteers
acting as employees of the LTB, the Lithuanian Savings Bank.
LTB was the last State-owned bank, which was privatized and sold to foreign investors
on the day after the performance. The video taps into qualities of resistance that reside
in the collective voice(s) of the participants—captured in the transitory situation
of the bank caught between of “no longer and not yet”.
