Marc Hagan - Guirey a.k.a Paper Dandy , creates skittish scenes using nothing but paper and scissors hold . Employing the paper cut art of kirigami , his“Horrorgami ” sculpturesrecreate haunted houses from Graeco-Roman horror films , and are then blacklit with a spooky glow .
Hagan - Guirey will be show his Horrorgami sculptures atLondon ’s Gallery One and a Half begin on November 1st . Hagan - Guirey explain how picture the carving in person — and in unlike light — can add to their gist :
Quite early on , I knew the best manner to exhibit the building was to habituate light box . The theoretical account themselves have a dual personality . In daylight they are at their most innocent : you may see exactly how the objet d’art has been engineered and crafted , but at night when backlit , the model take on a unexampled character . Theatrical silhouettes bring the kirigami to life and the imagination takes over , filling in the blank shell and embroider the model with detail remembered from the film . I compare this to the effect of watching a revulsion picture during the 24-hour interval as opposed the much more fearful experience of keep an eye on it a night . Horror flick of the ‘ 70s and ‘ fourscore are in a completely dissimilar class to those of today . At the mere mention of pic such as The Shining and The Exorcist I ’m always blown away by the reaction I get from people and their personal experiences of catch them . They almost have a “ Where were you when ” finger to them . This is why I think hoi polloi have such strong reactions to Horrorgami and for me why they ’re such a joyfulness to make .
Here you may see The Shining ’s Overlook Hotel and The Exorcist ’s Blair home , and The Amityville Horror and The Addams Family mansionare also up at his site . Other obsessed homes , such as the Bates Motel , Ghostbusters headquarters , and The House on Haunted Hill , will eventually conjoin them .
