A ação #2 da série Bixa Kamikaze consistiu numa visita ao shopping Iguatemi (Brasília) montado de drag queen. Para compor o look, comprei algumas bijuterias na Rodoviária do Plano Piloto e num brechó. Gastei, ao todo, R$ 93,00. Para essas mesmas bijuterias, desenhei, após a realização da performance, dispositivos em acrílico cristal e vermelho opaco/transparente, de forma a exibir a nota fiscal com o preço de custo de cada uma das bijuterias, assim como o novo preço de venda por mim atribuído. Esse novo preço foi calculado por meio da multiplicação do preço de custo pelo salário mínimo vigente em 2018: R$ 954,00. Desde então, venho inflacionando o preço mediante a multiplicação do preço de venda anterior pelo salário-mínimo vigente no ano da atualização. Os brincos usados na performance, que custaram R$ 1,00, atualmente são a obra de arte mais cara do Brasil, valendo R$ 1.308.391.920,00 (um bilhão, trezentos e oito milhões, trezentos e noventa e um mil e novecentos e vinte reais).
Bixa Kamikaze action # 2 consisted of a walk in the Iguatemi Shopping Mall (Brasília) in drag. At the occasion, I wore imitation jewelry that I bought at Brasília’s Central Bus Station. I spent a total of R$ 93,00. For the same jewelry, I designed acrylic devices in order to display the receipt with the cost price of each jewel, as well as the new sales price assigned by me. This new price was calculated by multiplying the cost price by the Brazilian minimum wage in 2018: R$954.00. Since then, I've been inflating the price by multiplying the previous sales price by the current minimum wage. The earrings used in the performance, which cost R$1.00, are currently the most expensive work of art in Brazil, worth R$1,308,391,920.00 (one billion, three hundred and eight million, three hundred and ninety-one thousand and nine hundred and twenty reais).
