Automated Thraldom Machine (ATM)

The “Receipts” series by Leung delves into the theme of capitalism, consumerism, and the digital footprint we leave behind in the financial system. By incorporating receipts into his artworks, Leung highlights the tangible evidence of our transactions, reflecting the pervasive influence of consumerism on our lives. Moreover, the inclusion of receipts also symbolises our digital footprint within the financial system—a record of our contributions to society through economic activities. Through this artistic exploration, Leung prompts viewers to contemplate the implications of our financial records and the extent to which they shape our identities and define our societal roles in the context of a capitalist framework.
