On Friday evening I had the chance to attend a very cool exposition whose topic was... yeah, your guess was correct, origami! Although I still don't know how you made this guessing... Never mind haha. Having a friend very keen on origami (greets Guillermo!), and being my hometown Saragossa seat of the first origami association created in the whole Europe, there is an origami exposition there (until June 2nd) And so, I went there with the already mentioned Guillermo, and mister Alex Beltrán.
And oh yes, it was totally worth it, very very cool. That cool that I am sharing it with you. The exposition consisted of a first floor with three quite impressive rooms focused on sea, earth and air (highlight the paper tunnel with stalactites, various holes and toilette paper) (not because of the toilette paper, he) There was a vid on how they made the rooms (specifically for this exposition) and trust me, it was amazing the amount of time... and space that required it. Then, there was a second floor, with a compilation of different pieces made out by Éric Joisel, a guy who was incredibly good at this (just have a look below) and who has an incredibly sad story I'm not really keen on talking about, sorry people.
Hope you enjoy it!

Deiv!!! The pictures look great :). I think I'll see the exhibition one of these days. In any case, where is it exactly? I'm very clumsy when it refers to origami :/ but anyway I would like to see it :D
ReplyDeleteYeah sure! It's relatively close to your place in fact ;-) (until the beginning of June, if I'm right)
