Art can be pretty hit and miss these days. There is some really sick stuff out there, but a lot of contemporary art seems to leave the general public pretty perplexed, and it’s probably half the reason so many galleries are choosing to do a shit load of retrospectives of old favourites rather than focus on too much new.

This seems like a pretty unique concept, and the resulting videos feel like if the Wachowskis had done The Matrix right, rather than just a creation of paper.
The works are created by gluing together thousands and thousands of pieces of paper together in a honeycomb pattern, stacking, and then carving into them to create massively impressive sculptures with some ridiculous attention to detail.

Yes world, more art like this please.
