According to their press release, “Starting in the 1950s, a revolution in folding techniques began, which sparked innovation in more complex designs and different genres of origami. These genres include tessellations, where folded patterns repeat within the sheet of paper, and modular, where multiple sheets are assembled into a structure held together purely through friction. These developments resulted in amazing works of art and an exponential rise in origami’s popularity. “



According to their press release, “This exhibition features three main categories of origami. The first features living forms, both real and imagined. The second shows geometric sculptures, featuring curved folds, complex polyhedral, and intricate polygon textures. The final section displays applications of origami, showing how folding can be incorporated into various aspects of life through different fields.”
