A sealed package containing devalued €500 banknotes with a former face value of two million euros weighs 4.48 kilograms. Reduced to its physical mass, money appears no longer as currency but as material. 4.48 kg [take it and run] examines what remains once institutional value has been withdrawn while the material itself continues to circulate.
