PLOT#7 – PAPERIFIC!

PLOT#7 is named PAPERIFIC! and is dedicated to spatial visions made of paper. The designers, featured in this issue, not only put their visions on paper, they also developed paperific worlds, they implemented a transformation from the two-dimensional sketch to three- respectively four-dimensional productions – and used paper as scenographic element in various ways. And for good reason: Rarely a material allows such versatile applications, is so flexible in its handling, so cost-effective when purchased, and, to top it all off, so perfectly recyclable. That is why we dedicate PLOT#7 to show you an exhibition made of cardboard, an installation from Post-its, a stage set put to the real ripping test, as well as creative applications of colored paper, which are either used as film set or shop window decoration. Our essay by Kerstin Wallbach and Professor Joseph Hoppe about manufacturing techniques of this new, old material and the review about the paper-visionary Ron Resch rounds off the subject.
