Where did the idea to create pop-up books come from? When I was a child the books with pop-up illustrations impressed me a lot. I didn’t have one of my own, so I looked at those in the library and the bookshops. I used to entertain myself by making things out of paper, so I started aiming at creating effects such as pop-up designs. Is there a pop-up you like the most? The most fascinating thing is the object I work on itself. The interesting thing is that what impresses people the most is not the complex technology of production. For example, for a very short time I cut out a simple figure of a butterfly. Because I didn’t make it out of cardboard, but out of paper, the wings of the butterfly were moving more tenderly, when the card was opened. Motion is of great significance for the realistic effect, for the “coming to life” of the butterfly. This card is my favourite at the moment. Some of the pop-ups look so amazingly difficult to do… How much time does one need to realise a single idea? The production of an elementary pop-up takes about 8 hours – from the idea, to the realisation itself. When the card consists of many different parts or when the shapes are very difficult to cut out, I need 20 – 30 hours to finish the whole thing. The most expensive pop-up I’ve made is the sphere, which is the last figure to appear on my YouTube video. I worked about 60 hours on it. When I have an idea, first I make a relatively rough plan. The first realisation is there to make technical aspects clearer for me. That is how I find out where the pillars have to be, where I can glue particular parts, where the slits and the folds should be, etc. When I am aware of the technical side of things, I continue with the other details, with which I totally finish the project. How do you see your future? In the next few weeks I will concentrate on my creative paper works. After I published that video on YouTube, I received questions about the production of pop-ups. Since then I have been having conversations with a lot of companies, including a postcard producer, for whom I have to make a whole series; and an advertising agency, which wants to present my pop-up in the next edition of their magazine. The organizers of an art exhibition ordered me a small series of pop ups, which will be sent as a gift to their sponsor. Apart from this, I will be working on a pop-up book with another artist in the next few weeks. Whether all of these projects will be realised, I can’t say. But still, I’m amazed how much attention I can devote to my work. Paper is my passion and I will continue producing pop-up cards. I am also gathering ideas for bigger paper sculptures, which I would like to present on YouTube in a couple of months.
