To celebrate the 25th annual festival of classical music, over 100 intricate paper sculptures hover over the Gothic arches of the Saint-Riquier Abbey church, in Northern France. Using paper Peter Gentenaar mills himself (paper mills weren’t able to provide him with a stock he wanted) and bamboo ribbing, the Netherlands-based artist’s etherial creations echo the curving lines of the church’s vaulted ceilings. Gentenaar compares his paper objects to dried autumn leaves twirling in the wind. As if the ornate architecture of the church wasn’t beautiful enough already, these sculptures must make walking through the Abbey absolutely breathtaking.
