Currency Collage: $1 Bill

​Mark Wagner makes these stunning collages out of $1 bills. Be sure and check out his mega-collage called Liberty.

From the Artist Statement:

The one dollar bill is the most ubiquitous piece of paper in America. Collage asks the question: what might be done to make it something else? It is a ripe material: intaglio printed on sturdy linen stock, covered in decorative filigree, and steeped in symbolism and concept. Blade and glue transform it-reproducing the effects of tapestries, paints, engravings, mosaics, and computers—striving for something bizarre, beautiful, or unbelievable... the foreign in the familiar.

4 - Distorted Time

A collage of existing film fragments, released into my paper-folded version of Utrecht. Shot on a 7D and processed in After Effects.

Gideon van der Stelt collaged film fragments, superimposing them onto a paper model of the Dutch city of Utrect (where I was lucky enough to spend about half a year) in a video titled Verknipte tijden (Distorted Times).
