Many graphic designers choose paper as a creative medium to express their design ideas, and Nendo Design Studio is no exception. However, they choose to use 3D printers, and the printed products are not pieces of white paper, but There is only the black outline of the paper, which depicts the state of the paper and highlights the unique nature of the paper. Of course, the audience is also invited to imagine what state the paper in front of them is in.
This exhibition, Un-printed Material Exhibition, on display at Creation Gallery G8 in Tokyo, although there is not a single piece of paper in the entire exhibition, you are aware of the presence of paper everywhere. Some of the black lines that fill the exhibition are creases on the paper, and some have been torn apart. By reducing the details to zero and describing the state of the paper only by its outline, it seems that people can better understand and observe the texture of the paper. More aspects.
The exhibition Un-printed Material has a total of three rooms. In the first room, 30 A1-sized posters were hung in the white space. Some were neatly arranged, while others had fallen off and were crumbling in mid-air, as if they only wanted to hang in the white space. If a gust of wind blows from somewhere, it will fall down at any time.
In the second room, there are many pieces of postcard-sized paper showing various forms of paper. They have been crumpled, folded, turned over, blown up, but cannot be touched.
The last room is the world of paper products, a series of objects made of paper, such as paper bags, milk cartons, paper cups, and paper cranes.
This method of using 2D to express 3D is not Nendo’s first attempt. The Border Table series they exhibited in Tokyo last year used lines to outline pieces of furniture in space, with only small The metal rods are embellished with spatial changes such as corners, protrusions and depressions, which are quite similar to Un-printed Material Exhibition!
