Elod Beregszaszi is a master of paperwork, but not in the normal sense of the phrase. He cuts, folds, embosses and sculpts out of a material most people don’t think twice about. When the average American uses 750 pounds of year, it’s nice to see someone who puts a more lasting use to it.
While most artists working with such a specific medium typically become experts in one form of manipulating it, Elod Beregszaszi is incredibly versatile: creating sculptures, three dimensional pop ups, and expertly folded displays.
The fragility of Elod’s work makes it that much more appealing. Like sculptures made out of sand, the perfect use of such a delicate material makes the perfect symmetry that much more wonderful to behold.

The artist about himself:
I have been making, cutting and folding paper for over 10 years.

My interest in origamic (combination of cutting and folding) techniques was sparked by a trip to the London Japan Centre where I chanced on a pattern book by Masahiro Chatani. I was immediately hooked, and have been designing my own templates, both architectural and abstract, ever since.

I founded POPUPOLOGY in 2006 as a design studio specializing in paper-engineering, working on commissions and producing installations for art and design shows. I am currently working on a number of collaborative projects from window displays to folding paper products.

I look forward to exploring potential applications for paper folding in numerous fields of design, from typography to interior decoration.
