In the Gregoire Alexandre 'Curious Story' photoshoot, the photographer creates magic with [large sheets of paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-for-papirkunst). The theme throughout 'Curious Story' is that paper can take on many unexpected forms.

The result of this photoshoot is a beautiful gallery of model interacting with life-like paper since the [origami shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape) embody many forms to confine or scare the model.

**Implications** - The sheer unexpectedness of art like this is immediately striking to consumers, and any advertiser looking to have a similar impact on their target market would do well to take this into account when devising their future campaigns. When an ad stands out on account of its [unexpected materials or concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mwcurated), it is not easily ignored or forgotten.
