The Greek street artist, Stefanos, has sought to reflect the social and economic instability of life in the Greek crisis, hijacking the currency in his art project, 'Euro bank note bombing'. Since 2014, Stefanos has been drawing on euro banknotes and then returning them into circulation by spending them. He says,
‘observing the euro banknote landscapes one notices a lack of any reality, whatsoever. for the last five years the crumbling greek economy has hatched violence and social decay – so, I decided to fuse these two things. through hacking the banknotes I’m using a european a document, that is in cross-border circulation, including greece – thus, the medium allows me to ‘bomb’ public property from the comfort of my home.’
