Amazing Installations by French Studio Zim&Zou Made of Paper, Leather and Plasticine

Zim&Zou are two french artists, based in Dordogne. The duo is composed of Lucie THOMAS and Thibault ZIMMERMANN. They studied graphic design (design, publishing, advertising) during three years.

They decided to focus on installations using handcrafted objects made out of tangible materials such as paper, wood, thread, etc. rolling away from computer design. Anchored in craftsmanship, they create all the elements composing their installations by hand, from drawing to cutting and assembling.

Their favorite material is the paper they’re cutting, folding and gluing to give rise to intricate and colorful sculptures. Paper inspires them for its versatility, infinite range of colors and unique textures. The flat sheets turned into volume are giving an installation the poetry of ephemeral material. Zim&Zou’s strenght is to be a complementary and polyvalent duo.
