Paper cut
Directed by Hui-ching Tseng. Taiwan, 2020. 2’15’
The film uses commercial product catalogs to create visual animation effects through paper-cutting. In recent years, the author has tried various experimental methods to create animation by using materials founded in daily life, such as the recycled garbage advertising catalogs. This animation creates a reason for these useless advertising images to be worth watching again. The title “Paper Cut” means that the image is reborn through the cutting action, and new ideas and values are obtained. The purpose of the experiment is to discover new possibilities and ideas by breaking the limitations of the media.
