Folding dollar bills into origami has been a popular trend, but lately there has been an increase in innovative currency-related artworks. It may be due to the decreasing value of a dollar, but most probably it’s because there’s something magic about money – it’s power to buy things, feed the starving ones and even cause wars.
This time, I thought to share with you a fun and creative way to use your bills – it’s similar to origami, but with a little twist. New Orleans-based artist Dan Tague folds a dollar bill as many as 100 times to create messages of empowerment, like “United We Stand” and “Trust No One.” He photographs the origami currency on a black background and prints the photos in large format to avoid accusations of counterfeiting from the Treasury Department. Tague’s themes are protest, American history and, of course, money.
