Paperboyo cria montagens que transformam arquiteturas em cenas lúdicas e inusitadas

Guardar

Quem nunca pensou que tal edifício se parece com um tanque de guerra, ou que determinado elemento arquitetônico lembra um palito de fósforo? Você não está sozinho. Rich McCor, também conhecido como paperboyo, viaja pelo mundo e desde 2015 publica em seu Instagram montagens fotográficas com recortes de papel preto que transformam obras de arquitetura em cenas lúdicas e inusitadas.

Inspirando-se no trabalho de Christoph Niemann, McCor busca romper as normas da arquitetura e embelezar o cotidiano. Embora o projeto tenha começado originalmente enquanto explorava o Reino Unido, “isso me levou muito além de Londres para cantos do mundo que nunca pensei que veria”, diz o fotógrafo. É fácil entender por que suas montagens atraíram mais de 350 mil seguidores em seu Instagram.

My #Rampage around the UK continues here in Bristol where I've let loose the film's Giant Wolf on the Clifton Suspension Bridge (You'll be pleased to know the special FX in the film are a lot more superior than mine). The film is out across the UK right now! @rampagethemovie #ad

The last stop on my #Rampage around the UK was here at Stonehenge where I played around with the film's biggest star - George. It's been a cool adventure exploring my home country whilst doing something a bit different with my cutouts so thanks for riding along. Don't forget Rampage is out now across the UK @rampagethemovie #Stonehenge #ad

I'm road-tripping around Arizona at the moment and on my way from Lake Havasu City to Route 66, I passed this quirky structure by the side of the road near Yucca. It's known locally as both the Arizona Death Star and the Golf Ball House. A huge housing development was planned here back in the 1970's and this place was going to be the glitzy restaurant in the heart of the development which also promised waterskiing and other attractions. However the project wasn't successful and in the end the Golf Ball House was the only structure that actually got built, so for years it sat lonely by the side of the road. The current (very friendly) owners opened a store next to the building, planted small aliens and various UFO's by the side of the road and renamed it Area 66 to attract visitors (Information found via @atlasobscura's website) @Visit_Arizona #MyAZTrip #VisitArizona

I loved Wellington! We didn't get too long in the Capital but I managed to cram in the incredible @te_papa museum before riding the @wellingtoncablecar up the hill to find the Gardens Magic Festival. I ended the night in a few bars with the Topdeck gang. A buzzy day 🤙🏻 @topdecktravel #Topdecker #Ultimate49 #Wellington #NewZealand @Wellington_NewZealand

Famous Landmarks Reimagined with Paper Cutouts

For the past few months, Rich McCor has been traveling around the world reimagining famous landmarks with paper cutouts. Starting with some research on the locations he visits, McCor shifts between finding instant inspiration and letting his subconscious drive his creations: "After doing the first few cut-outs, I think my brain learned to look for quirky shapes and ideas in architecture and everyday objects; it's a pretty good mental exercise."

Paperboyo Continues to Transform and Reimagine Architecture Around the World

Last year we covered the work of Rich McCor, aka paperboyo. Now, as his Instagram account approaches 170k+ followers, Rich tells ArchDaily how it all started, what keeps him going and how he's made his hobby into paid work. It began with one photo in London when I turned Big Ben into the London Eye.
