Origami X26 is a version of the Taser X26 in origami. 400 copies of a double-sided poster are distributed in Paris. The crease-pattern of the electric rifle is printed on one side while a map of Paris is printed on the other side. Displayed in Paris during the show, the poster doesn't seem to be a gun while the gun displayed in the gallery doesn't seem to contain Paris... In this project, Paris and Taser X26 are the hidden side of each other because the Taser X26 has been introduced into the police especially in Paris in 2005 by the Department of the Interior despite the condemnation of Amnesty International and the fact that Taser X26 is forbidden in several countries in Europe.
