Jum Nakao uses paper conceptually in his work for its impermanence. Watch as his gorgeous paper dresses walk the runway and are destroyed in front of the crowd. Hours of work thrown away in front of a shocked audience to remind them that there are more important things than what we see at first sight. Besides making you consider permanence and what is truly valuable, this video also makes one consider and appreciate the amazing usefulness of the laser cutter, which cut his work time on this collection to only 700 hours. (making the rounds today on Upon A Fold, Boing Boing, and Neatarama, but worth mentioning here too, nonetheless.)
