    Staples City Is—as You Would Expect—a City Made of Staples

    Nothing ever gets lost in Staples City. Until Office Godzilla destroys it.

    Peter Root, the artist, describes his work:

    Low-Rise is a precarious assemblage of thousands of free-standing stacks of staples densely tessellated to create a city-like mosaic. Like a city, the staples are subject to the elements, on a micro scale. The slightest breath or vibration and the domino effect kicks in.

    In other words, a bureaucrat's paradise. [Peter Root]
