In "Counterfeits," using cancelled tram tickets (from the pre-automatic era, i.e., when a conductor would manually punch tickets), the artist intervened in the diagrammatic map of the tram lines in Zagreb, making tiny modifications, changing the names of some of the stations. Using the collage technique, he inserted certain selected words cut out of newspaper classified advertisements into the readymades of the tram tickets, creating an only just perceptible modification.
