This was influenced by architecture magazines and his discovery of modern graphics. His works are composed of sculpture, painting, photography and collage combined. The works also study various techniques of dynamic movement, centrifugal forces or centripetal forces. Paolini’s works act as the artist’s tools in enable him to control and study various physical actions in the world. These movements include citation, duplication and fragmentation.
