Celebrating size: Olivier Grossetête
It’s not getting any larger than the cardboard architecture by Olivier Grossetête! There’s so much to say about this monumental-community-performance-architecture… It’s very wonderful to see the how people lift the structures layer by layer! And then there’s the choreography’s.

It looks fast, forceful and playful even though you feel he probably works his fingers […]
