Many cities around the world boast their very own stunning architectural landmarks which in themselves have become major tourist attractions. But British photographer Rich McCor (aka Paperboyo) has a different way of seeing these existing landmarks. By adding black paper cut-outs into the scene, he transforms iconic buildings and landscapes into fun objects.
Using the urban setting as the backdrop, he reimagines the city landmarks as something else. And he was able to bring his vivid imagination to life by incorporating paper cut-outs to complete the scene. The famous ‘paper thin’ skyscraper in Tokyo reimagined as a newspaper, a dome-shaped building in London reimagined as a turtle shell, and a blue building in Vienna reimagined as running water from a faucet. The artist brings his imagination to reality by holding black paper silhouettes that appear to interact with the surrounding.
