Description: | The Offshore Investigation Vehicle was an international corporate structure set up to collectively model offshore financial practices. It operated as a guide and a shield, providing access to a hidden world of insiders’ knowledge while guaranteeing the secrecy of the actions undertaken there. Engaging directly with an inherently inaccessible system of tax havens, legal loopholes, offshore banking, service providers, human proxies and corporate puppets, The Offshore Investigation Vehicle aimed to grasp the inner workings and infrastructure at play in offshore finance, engaging directly with these inherently inaccessible systems. Using the rules and norms of its corporate structure the project was opened for others to join: shares were issued and meetings called to decide on the directions of the business. The corporate structure existed through the paperwork created by the agents appointed in its formation, the proxies involved in its obfuscation and the shareholders invested in its operations. The research and process undertaken, alongside many of these documents is collected in a hardback book. |
