80gms

The work of Danish artist Peter Callesen ranges from ice sculpture to offbeat performance to giant paper/cardboard installations, but it’s his recent A4 Papercut series in which he achieves the most with the least. Each piece starts as a single sheet of 80gms A4 paper but in his hands becomes a fairytale castle, two men in a canoe nearing a perilous waterfall or a ship sinking in icy waters. The results are surprising, ingenious and beautiful.
