Paper on U

Paper on U is a project of the architect Eleonora Paspaliari.

Why “paper”?

Because its possibilities are limitless; it is ephemeral (although the paper is worked upon so as to gain longevity) and challenging. Playing with paper and images, cutting it out and folding it, like we do with origami, Eleonora Paspaliari makes shapes and volumes recomposing new images. She breaks the images and recreates their structure and colors with astounding results.

"Behind this fluid reality that flickers and changes forms, a forest of geometrical symbols throw a bridge across the past and the future"

Behind this fluid reality, which takes shapes and defies gravity, paper foldings ornate the modern search for form."
