When describing his precise illustrative works with paper, Berlin based artist Daniel Greenfeld doesn’t quite pin his technique down as “collage”, he tells us. “The material isn’t layered, but something between assemblage and inlaid mosaic,” he says. “I cut up painted cardstock to make my pieces, slicing out cavities so new shapes can be embedded and glued in.” - Daniel Greenfeld’s artworks aren’t collages, they’re mosaics made of paper scraps - vit Its’s Nice That

Le dernier jour pousse l’expérience un cran plus loin.

Like every year, the book is designed so that you can either take it apart or create your collages in the book itself. Week numbers and image sources are on the back of each image, so even if your books falls apart at one point, you will always know what’s what!
