Remco Torenbosch: Bank for International Settlements (large)

In this publication, that is part of a new body of work, artist Remco Torenbosch examines the Bank for International Settlements, one of the most powerful yet publicly almost invisible financial institutions in the world. Tracing its origins in interwar Germany, the study reveals how the Bank’s debt management accelerated social collapse and enabled the rise of fascism, while exposing its continuing influence in global sovereign debt restructuring. The publication confronts the political consequences of debt-based governance by financial institutions—an urgent issue in today’s volatile geopolitical and economic climate.
