ABOUT

“Pay-as-you-go” consists of a donation box and an aquarium. Signposted with “Paypoint,” the viewers are invited to “top-up” the donation box. While coins and notes are passing through the sensor, an electrical meter (which can be seen in any household in Britain) installed inside the box activates and starts supplying electricity. Next to the donation box is an aquarium with a full setting of tropical underwater, its neon light starts beaming, the motor is making current and the air pump is bubbling. Soon after, viewers find out that there is no fish, shrimp or any living creature as such, and the aquarium is nothing but a fake setting. After one minute, the electricity cuts off and the aquarium is back into darkness.
