Keeping To Animation,

here is a take on one of the earliest forms,

 Dutch artist Veerle Coppoolse examines the life cycle of a butterfly in a handcrafted zoetrope built from finely cut paper.

the animation brings the metamorphosis of the extraordinary insect to life, 

presenting its transformation from cocoon-wrapped caterpillar to a butterfly in flight,

the completed machine above, the grey and white paper animation is a mock-up for a larger model Coppoolse is currently seeking funding for on the Netherlands-based crowdfunding site Voordekunst, She hopes to build a cocoon-shaped machine that will spin guests around the paper work to create an animation, rather than producing movement from the zoetrope itself, You can follow the process behind Coppoolse’s human-powered metamorphosis attraction on Instagram, not sure that I like the spinning guests much, but there it is.
