Emerging from ±MaisMenos±’s ongoing investigation into value, consumption, and the contradictions of contemporary society, this edition transforms a familiar expression into a conceptual paradox. Through a subtle linguistic intervention, the work reverses the promise traditionally associated with wealth, replacing certainty with ambiguity.

Characteristic of the artist’s practice, language becomes both medium and subject. The statement can be read simultaneously as a critique of consumer culture and as a reflection on the commodification of absence itself — a recurring theme throughout ±MaisMenos±’s work, where even “nothing” can become a product, an image, or an object of exchange. Balancing irony with social commentary, the piece questions the systems of value through which meaning is produced, circulated, and consumed.
