Cash Mönneh II is a bold and provocative performance art piece by ODEE, performed on September 16, 2020, at the Iceland University of the Arts. The performance began with a video of a young boy expressing his loneliness and love for the kazoo, which then transitioned into a music video. As the video played, ODEE shredded paper, and then unexpectedly began shredding a bundle of Icelandic banknotes in sync with the music. This powerful act served as a critique of materialism and the value society places on money. The performance sparked diverse reactions, from praise for its daring nature to discomfort and criticism over the destruction of currency. Cash Mönneh II challenges viewers to reflect on the meaning of wealth, the distractions of materialism, and the boundaries of art.
