DNA INDIA:
Have you thought of trying to barter your way through your next vacation? From plane tickets and a Macbook to clothes and food, Sergey Balovin speaks to Avril-Ann Braganza about living off barter
Ever tried living without money or bartering your way through your vacation? Sounds impossible? Not for Russian artist Sergey Balovin, who in the last year has travelled to 33 countries, including Kazakhstan, China, Singapore, India, Italy and France, without any cash. And all of it through his project, In Kind Exchange, where he barters his art for things that he needs.
The 29-year-old hasn't used his money since end-2012. He taught at the School of Architecture and Design, Studio YA, from 2001 to 2005. Post that, he was a professor at the Voronezh State Pedagogical University, Faculty of Art Education, till he quit in 2010 because, "it's easier to live without any money than on a teacher's meagre salary, in Russia". He sold some of his art and moved to Shanghai; that's where it all began.
