The artist's fee received from an exhibition was used to determine the size of a neon work that says "production." The color of the neon is set by the color of the bank note for the amount of the fee (100TL). The adaptor for the neon, at the time, cost 120 TL. The size is determined by the amount of the fee, reinvested to make a work, and the total cost and price of the work was 220 TL. The work is reproduced in an endless edition, remade upon demand, priced at the cost of the neon and the adaptor.
