While sitting at home during the Corona pandemic, I decided to fold 500 US one-dollar bills and transform them into a bag – a bag that has the potential to be reversed into money as long as the American Dollar is accepted as a legal currency. The project takes into consideration that the dollar is the leading world currency.
I sent out the following open call:
My idea is that people from different places in the world can participate in Corona Dollar Creazione. Are you willing to help me create the piece?
Send me 1$ banknotes by post (max. five) and you are in and your banknotes are part of the bag.
If you wish, you may also write two or three lines, make a small sketch, or take a photo. These can be conveyed in an envelope by a real postman to my home in Sofia and will find a place inside my bag. It can then be filled with ideas and emotions from the times we are going through with Covid 19.
You may also send me a short message via e-mail. Then I will know that I am to be expecting something, what reaches me and what gets lost on its journey.
That would be great. And let me know if you would like to be updated on the status of the project.
