Pop-Up Magazine is hands down the coolest publication in circulation right now. It has featured work from a staggeringly wide range of writers, photographers, illustrators, documentary filmmakers, performers, radio producers and creative groups including Alice Walker, Pixar, Roman Mars, Michael Pollan, Alex Gibney, David Maisel, Rebecca Solnit, Mary Roach, Yiyun Li, Richard Misrach, Sam Green, Wendy MacNaughton, Nicholas Felton and even Beck.

Li Hongbo has created various human forms from thousands of pieces of paper for his exhibition “Pure White Paper,” which was held last December at Dominik Mersch Gallery in Australia. As the video indicates, each piece is glued together manually—one by one—to create the entire form. Untouched, they feel quiet and familar. However, as Hongbo demonstrates the flexibility in their craft, they come alive in a completely unexpected and bizarre way. |
