Whilst doing some research on installation artists for a current project I stumbled across this stunning cityscape. It took artist Peter Root 40 hours to break stacks of staples into varying sizes (from full stacks of about 12cm high right down to single staples). Titled Ephemicropolis, the installation used 100,000 staples and covered a floor area of approx 6m x 3m. I think he nailed it big time!
