As Geiger states: "48 Real Estate Investment (REIT) Companies listed at the London Stock Exchange donated one of their shares to me – hand drawn on my Millionaire Sheets by the CEOs themselves. Selling and resale prices are according to the respective daily share prices/rates on the international stock exchanges." A project exploring investment, the speculative conditions of everyday living conditions and the commodification of space, Geiger's The UK REIT Market permits an access to artworks which critically play with the economics of  investment. 

Regularly exploring systems of power and exchange, in describing his practice, Geiger has said that " I now believe that the principle of many poor collectors, as opposed to a few wealthy ones, is far more sustainable. And I am convinced that art should be an accessible good that is affordable for everyone."
