Peter Root’s City of Staples

Apr 30, 2010 0 comments

Artist Peter Root’s Ephemicropolis is a city built entirely out of stacks of metal staples of varying heights. The cityscape consists of over 100,000 staples that took over 40 hours to assemble. The largest stacks are about 12 cm high and the whole installation takes up a floor space of about 6m x 3m.
