Peter Callesen is a Denmark-born artist who has amazing skills when it comes to paper. Although he also creates art using another medium, he almost exclusively worked with white paper recently in different objects, paper cuts, installations, and performances. A large part of his work is made from A4 sheets of paper. According to him, “It is probably the most common and consumed media used for carrying information today. This is why we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper. By taking away all the information and starting from scratch using the blank white A4 paper sheet for my creations, I feel I have found a material that we are all able to relate to, and at the same time, the A4 paper sheet is neutral and open to fill with different meaning. The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic theme of my works.”
