Pure White Paper (Stretching Accordion Paper Sculptures) / Li Hongbo

A book editor and designer, the artist became fascinated by traditional Chinese toys and festive decorations known as paper gourds made from glued layers of thin paper which can be stored flat but then opened to reveal a flower or other shape. He applied the same honeycomb-like paper structure to much larger human forms resulting in these highly flexible sculptures. via

These mind-warping, stretching, accordion paper sculptures were made by Beijing artist Li Hongbo. We have never seen anything like this. These pieces makes our brains squirm in the best way. Just watch the vids, immediately…
