Face Value is an artwork that deals with the methods of delivering and recording information, the thematics of privacy and publicity and the limitations of personal space/information.

It consists of the messages/information published (made public) on one person’s Facebook account's frontpage during  the time period of 2 weeks. This information is then printed on paper and bound into a book, including 476 pages. The book is then placed on a shelf in a public library for one day.
