Paper Highlights

One of the things I love so much about paper is how flexible it is to interpretation. 
Usually one would see this in the way it has been manipulated... folded, cut, moulded etc. 
However, as a medium, it has another distinct means of display... illumination.

There are so many ways that light can be used on paper in conjunction with the 
manipulation of form... and that's just what the University of the Arts in Bremen, 
Germany, have done to mark their 350th year anniversary.


This interior installation is constructed entirely of folded paper. 
Different panels have been suspended throughout the Library staircase, 
which runs over five levels.


Each panel has a series of images and text which are projected onto their surfaces.


I love how the medium of paper, so prevalent in a library, 
has been used to show a reflection of the information contained within the building.




I couldn't find an attribution for the designer of the paper panels and their projections. 
If your German is good you might be able to find it on the University of the Arts website.
