Thomas Witte uses vintage 35mm slides and photographs as the source material for his painstakingly hand-cut paper works. His process and choice of imagery play off of the modern-day bombardment of photos from outlets like Instagram and Facebook. Witte uses a traditional form of art-making (paper cutting) to re-purpose obsolete equipment (the 35mm slide) to provide commentary on cutting-edge technology (social media apps).
