A new world record in origami artwork will be launched soon!
Cape Town artist Jooj plans to smash a Guinness World Record for the largest display of origami butterflies this December.
More than 30,000 individually folded hanging butterflies will be on display at his "Merlin Wall Showcase" at the Youngblood Arts and Culture Gallery from December 5!
I spoke to his manager today and told him that I would like to raise awareness about this attempt and this post is the result!
A work in progress in the artist's studio!
I call this one the Butterfly Lady!
Origami butterflies forming a man's face!
Merlin's magic staff releasing some butterfly power (Transformation)!
No idea what this is called, but it's beautiful.
This could possibly be the Top Hat Brigade?
Finally, the Merlin Wall Showcase will be a part of this event announcement!
The latest world record was set in Japan with more than 20,226 butterflies and we are sure that the artist Jooj will break this record.
Jooj spent the past two years creating this origami effort and during a trip to Berlin, the idea started to formulate in his mind.
As fellow South Africans, we wish Jooj only the best in this gigantic effort and hope that he will indeed set a new world record.
Jooj's website is under construction and I was told that it should be up and running in the next 2 days.
In the meantime if anyone wants to send him best wishes, you can follow him on Instagram; jooj_paper
Just got word that the website is done, see; https://www.joojart.co.za/
