Paper Cutouts by ‘Paperboyo’ Transform<br />

World Landmarks into Quirky Scenes<br />

London-based paper artist and photographer Rich McCor (aka.<br />

paperboyo) has a way of seeing the world from a slightly different<br />

perspective. By adding a simple paper cutout to the foreground of<br />

famous buildings or other popular tourist attractions, he creates novel<br />

moments in time where an octopus squirms from inside the Colosseum<br />

or a WW2-era sailor embraces the Leaning Tower of Pisa in<br />

reference to the famous photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt. McCor makes<br />

frequent mentions to pop culture by recreating scenes from films or<br />

by repurposing works from other artists.
