artist book stuff

I am trying to create an interactive experience that will demonstrate the theme of collective memory while incorporating the idea of how prions contribute to effective memory.  I am planning on using collective/shared memories as my source of photos.  Each page of the book will have a picture that is not modified as well as a pouch of some sort that contains a folded version of the image.  The reader/viewer will be encouraged to unfold the image and try to see how the folding image relates to the unaltered image.  Can the image be recognized in its folded form? 
      My reasoning behind this is to demonstrated how memory changes as we remember it and we lose some details and fill them in with what we are currently experiencing.  The folded images will have pieces missing, so it will be as if the folded image represents a memory of the original image.  It is an experiment to see where different folds will lead the viewer to interpret the memory. 
    Prions are infectious proteins that can cause other proteins to become infected.  The process of changing a regular protein to a prion involves a misfolding of the protein.  Prions have been shown to play a role in long term memory.  Will you misfold and become infected?

Here are some works in progress.  I plan to make the folded images at a larger scale and am open to suggestions as to what kind of paper would work for folding and not ripping.  I am also planning on experimenting with various 3D shapes that the folding can create.  Maybe trying an image on both sides of the paper, making it harder to match the original image to the folded image (various degrees of memory loss), or varying the location of the folding outline printed on the image.
