Plastic Reality is a series about the furtive existence of the credit card. The owner can touch their own credit card, but cannot touch the currency, which affords a certain distancing. The invention of the credit made acquiring desires easy for people. Transactions happens in a vague, inaccessible space to the owner of the card.
 
Considering its role as stretchy cash, a plastic card is a perfectly appropriate nickname for a credit card. The word plastic implies flexible, pliable, and fake, and it describes the material of a card. This unique plastic object holds important identification of the owner, and makes so many things possible. But its expiration date exterminates its life. Unlike the nickname, a plastic card’s fate completely fixed and inflexible.
