MM14H is the documentation of By All Accounts This Was A Very Ordinary Man.

MM14H takes its name from the initials of the ordinary man who disintegrated the soap, and the number of hours the ordinary man handled it. For MM14H his used soap is cast in solid silver, valued, hallmarked, inscribed with the ordinary man’s initials, and the number of hours he was paid to handle soap.

Part documentation and record of passed time and labour, MM14H is equally a prop to think about the financialization of life, maintenance language and documentation into stock financial commodity.
