Phone books are a nuisance. They are heavy, take up a lot of space, and you get a new one every year, even though you can meanwhile find almost all the information in there online anyway. Alex Queral took discarded phone books and carved out 3D heads of famous people through thousands of pages with razor blades or an artist’s scalpel. The result? Simply amazing.

I did RT this but you should think about putting the official tweet button as it is more easy to use

What made you think to use phone books as the medium?

A great idea let down by poor quality JPGs!

Residential white pages are being discontinued by the phone company. This artist is about to lose his media. Projects Gallery is asking for any and all donations of white pages. No yellow pages, however. If you are in or near Philadelphia, please give us your phone books.
