"Cut, Paste" Automatic translate

Exhibition by British photographer Paperboyo transforming urban spaces with cut-and-paste minimalist paper silhouettes.

Rich McCore, or Paperboyo, is a photographer referred to as a "non-destructive vandal." Armed with a camera and scalpel, he populates the sky above megacities with man-made site-specific objects. The occupation, which at first was perceived by a native of London as a hobby, brought him viral popularity a year later. Now Rich travels the world, and the number of his followers on social networks is approaching half a million. On his account - cooperation with such major brands as Microsoft, Red Bull and PUMA.

The artist creates analog augmented reality, turning reality into a cartoon. His works combine the tradition of street photography and silhouettes popular in the first quarter of the 19th century; there is also something of archaic animation in them. McCore makes visible the aggressive manifestations of mass culture that persecute modern man. You can meet these hunters for our attention, who come from the subconscious of the city, in the most unexpected places - the works of Paperboyo show.
