The installation “Cut Papers” is, as its name indicates, in uninterrupted cutting sheets of paper. In the atrium of the fashion school ESMOD, the Japanese artist Sachiko Abe will attempt to symbolize with scissors the inexorable passing of time while appealing to the notions of repetition and obsession. viaCut Paper by Sachiko Abe.

Weightlessness in Nature by Cornelia Konrads
Cornelia’s outdoor installations seem to give Mother Nature the finger with their brazen defiance of gravity. Suspended in time, her works often seem to be in caught in the middle of construction themselves, an act we were never supposed to witness.

Suspended Threads by Amanda McCavour
“In my work, I use a sewing machine to create thread drawings and installations by sewing into a fabric that dissolves in water. This fabric makes it possible for me to build up the thread by sewing repeatedly into my drawn images so that when the fabric is dissolved, the image can hold together without a base. These thread images appear as though they would be easily unraveled and seemingly on the verge of falling apart, despite the works actual raveled strength.’ — Amanda McCavour, Artist Statement
