Paper Cuts Guillotine Experience - Video



Paper Cuts is an interactive paper guillotine by artists Mandy Smith and Hal Kirkland. It invites people to experience the world’s most recognizable instrument of death, head first. However, unlike its deadly ancestor, this blade offers nothing more final than a paper cut. The Paper Cuts guillotine experience, hosted in Amsterdam and London, brings a new twist to this infamous apparatus by transforming a powerful symbol of death into a thing of beauty. Delicate, inviting and something people may even line up for. Voluntarily this time. Every time the paper blade falls a camera films the person’s final fate-filled expression, forever immortalizing it on PaperCuts-Exhibtion.com as a sharable Gif.
