Loophole for All, Paolo Cirio's solo show at Aksioma | Project Space. 2014. Ljubljana - Slovenia
This artwork unveiled over 200000 Caymans Islands companies and combined with an aggressive business strategy, it reversed global finance machination for creative subversive agendas. The website Loophole4All.com promoted the sale of real identities of anonymous companies at low cost to democratize the privileges of offshore businesses. This performance generated international media attention, engaged an active audience and drew outrage from authorities on the Cayman Islands, international law and accounting firms, PayPal and real owners of the companies. Further, the artist interviewed major experts and produced a video documentary investigating offshore centers to expose their social costs and to envision solutions to global economic inequality. In the offline art installation, the paper trail of the project is displayed with prints of the counterfeited Certificates of Incorporation and the documents of the scheme set up for the operation.
