The project
Hollow Pictures offers a way to turn an image into a cut-out graphic. This Archicercle campaign explores the relationship between a pattern and a recognisable image: a composition of solids and voids whose reading plays with viewing distance and contrast.
For this offering, we developed an algorithmic definition that converts a source image into a combination of solid and empty areas. Customisation begins with that image, which is reinterpreted as a graphic pattern rather than reproduced directly.
Laser cutting brings this transformation into the physical piece. Empty areas are no longer white spaces in a representation but actual openings. Algorithmic development and fabrication are Archicercle’s two contributions to this offering.
