peter root: ephemicropolis
artist peter root has sent designboom a look at his latest work ‘ephemicropolis’, a metropolis made completely from stacks of metal staples. the piece consists of over 100,000 staples that were assembled over a time period of 40 hours. the stacks were each broken into different sizes, designed to represents everything from small scale buildings to large skyscrapers. the largest stacks are about 12 cm high, while the some buildings consist of only a single staple. the whole installation takes up a floor space of about 6m x 3m. unlike root’s previous project potato landscape, ‘ephemicropolis’ won’t start to grow mould any time soon.

nice one… love it
absolutely stunning!
Ooooh… shiny!
I’m very much into architecture, this is just great! lots of patience though. Amazing video!
Not everything has to be useful. Art doesn’t need further purpose. But here it reaches further. It impresses. It is strong in its simplicity and critic. We see the fragility and craziness of human actual metropolis. Congratulations it is very very well represented!
ESTIMABLE !
there is many artists making buildings with metal staples not very fresh
I wonder if he had to glue any of them to the floor for stability?
