5. Daniel Agdag

Artist Daniel Agdag created paper sculptures for his series ‘Sets for a Film I’ll never make’. Each detailed piece is created entirely from cardboard and PVA glue. Hard to imagine me with glue and paper to do such precise work. Agdag shifted his focus to creating individual pieces while he was in the process of preparing for a short film. He describes his process as ‘sketching with cardboard’.

I studied photography at the Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña (CITM), where I worked as lighting teacher. I’ve tought for more than 10 years at several schools from Barcelona (IDEP, CEV, GrisArt, CREA Formación), and also in Vocational Training Centres (Centro de Tecnologías avanzadas de Zaragoza, CTA) and Community Centres (Can Basté, Pati Llimona, etc). In 2003 I founded CitizenPixel, a company specialised in production of advertising images, in which I had the chance to work for important companies such as Audi, Burberry, Mayoral or Industrias Cosmic, in cooperation with the main advertising agencies (Contrapunto, BBDO, CP Interactive).

Currently, my career as a photographer has two main aspects: On one hand, I work as trainer and I research on new digital postproduction techniques, and on the other hand I work as independent photographer (author photography and to order).
I’m the coordinator of Arte/Facto (www.arte-facto.org), an on-line training school where I teach digital postproduction.

10. Giant slugs made from 40,000 plastic bags by Florentijn Hofman

Dutch artist florentijn hofman has sent designboom images of his latest large-scale installation entitled 'slow slugs'- created for the accroche coeurs festival in angers, france. The two monolithic creatures are fabricated from the knitting together of 40,000 colored plastic bags -
each artwork measuring at 18 x 7.5 x 5 meters in size. the theme of the festival for this year was 'north' - the distinctive sloping of the quiet french town then became the key impetus for the concept, with the route on which the critters are located directed toward the city's commercial centre.

The work stood for a total of eight days, with an immense amount of time and planning having gone into its construction. After two weeks of sketching and model making, the massive metal frame was bent and formed in the artist's studio in rotterdam.
The remainder of the production was completed in france with the skeleton welded on site as well as the bags fastened to the frame.

6. Kumi Yamashita - Origami

Kumi Yamashita on her work:

I sculpt shadow with light or sometimes light with shadow, but both function in essentially the same manner. I take objects and carve and place them in relation to a single light source. The complete artwork is therefore comprised of both the material (the solid objects) and the immaterial (the light or shadow).

Fabrice Le Nezet on Measure; Weight, distance, angle:
I worked here on a physical representation of the idea of measure. The objective was to 'materialize' tension in a sense, to make the notions of weight, distance and angle palpable...This work lies in the context of my search for purification around raw materials such as concrete and metal. This is why I played with simple shapes which catch light and transcend the volume structure.

1. Rosa Verloop - Nylon Sculptures

Dutch artist rosa verloop has extended her body of work with these 'nylon sculptures'. the highly textural pieces capitalize on the key medium used, stockings, which is tucked and molded to create a distinctly human-like figure. the flesh-colored panty hose fortify the anthropomorphic qualities of the work, manipulated in an organic fashion with drawing pins to create something strangely exotic.

1. Sabi Van Hemert

Sabi Van Hemert is a Dutch artist who creates sculptures that are fusions of children and animals. Van Hemert likes to play on the idea that the viewer has his or her interpretation on what they see. Because it is not immediately obvious what you see, the relationship between the spectator and the image is more complex, which is what Van Hemert strives to get from her work. Van Hemert says she has developed a rhythm to her work: precision, and the material she uses, help gives her work its alienating yet sensual, tough yet vulnerable character.
