Daniel Agdag: Eccentric Narratives

Artist Daniel Agdag  makes things out of cardboard. He’s modest. This declaration in no way illuminates the delicate form and eccentric narrative of his work. His pieces are created entirely from the unassuming medium of cardboard and PVA glue. To say he pushes the medium to its limits is an understatement. A Melbourne based artist and passionate filmmaker, Agdag has been toiling away in his tiny studio in Melbourne’s South Yarra creating intricate meticulous industrial machines of his own imagination. The work examines the over-engineering of simple tasks with intricate technologies, and subtly hints at the modern culture of persistent surveillance and abject disregard for preservation of beautiful histories. Agdag describes his process as ‘sketching with cardboard’, as he makes no detailed plans or drawings of the pieces he creates. His work has been described as architectural in form, whimsical in nature and inconceivably intricate.
