Between The Folds


This is not the first post on Origami, the traditional art of folding paper. The seemingly unlimited diversity of shapes and figures that lie hidden in a sheet of paper and the meditative process of focussing and revealing those forms fold by fold captivate me everytime I see real Origami nerds at work.

Yesterday I got a hint by Sally Rosenthal who is the executive producer of the movie Between The Folds, a documentary on Origami, philosophy and science. Or–as director Vanessa Gould meaningfully states–on:

The potential of an uncut paper square. The potential of a wild scientific idea. The potential to see things differently.
So if you are a real Origami fan, check out the trailer below or visit the website for more information on the movie.
