An A4 sheet of paper is one of the most widely used materials in daily life.

A4紙是我們在生活中最常用的材料之一。

The latest sensation it has created is probably the "tiny waist challenge". This challenge has swept the internet, as women boast their slim waistlines by holding a white vertical sheet of A4 paper in front of their waists and posing for photograph.

而不久前，這小小的一張紙還因為「A4腰」火了一把。那陣子，網上都是美女們把空白A4紙豎放在腰部來「炫腰」的照片。

I don"t know whether this artist has such a waist. Yet, I can assure you he has used the same sized paper sheets to do something much more challenging, creative and fascinating.

我不知道今天要介紹的這位藝術家有沒有如此纖腰（反正我沒有)，但我能確定的是，比起炫腰，他用A4紙來做的事更具挑戰性、更有創意，讓觀眾深深著迷。

Danish artist Peter Callesen builds a theater for comedy and tragedy by simply cutting a blank white sheet of A4 paper.

來自丹麥的藝術家皮特·卡勒森通過在空白A4紙上的裁剪，構建起一座迷你劇場。在這裡，悲劇與喜劇輪流上演。

He sculpts or folds the cut-out part into delicate shapes and installations.

從一張紙上剪下來的部分，他繼續雕刻摺疊出各種纖細的形態。

Most of the time he puts these tiny sculptures back to the absent space left by the cut. The cut-outs and the negative spaces form a dramatic scene.

多數情況下，他會把這些小巧的紙雕塑再放回原來的紙上，和剩下鏤空的部分重新組合出一個戲劇性的場景。

None of his works consist of more than one sheet of paper.

沒有一件作品的用量超過一張A4紙的大小。

It can be a lakeside house soon to be smashed by two snow balls rolling down the mountain.

他營造的畫面包括這座岌岌可危的湖邊別墅，馬上就要被山上滾落的兩個雪球撞得粉碎。

Or it shows people running for their lives as a fire presses on.

還有因為烈火迫近而逃生的人們。

A tightly closed closet often disrupts your sleep in childhood: In darkness, you can"t help but fear those characters fromMonsters Inc.would jump out of the closet any minute and freak you out.

小時候，你是否對緊閉的衣櫥充滿恐懼、無法入睡呢？是否老是覺得妖怪們隨時要從衣櫥里蹦出來、把你嚇到不行？

These amazing paper works of Callesen are now on show at his solo exhibition,White Worlds, at Danish Cultural Center inside Beijing"s 798 Art Zone through March 4.

這些棒呆的紙雕跟隨著卡勒森來到了798的丹麥文化中心，在他的個展《白色世界》上一直展出到3月4日。

Callesen"s paper cuts and sculptures explore the infinite possibilities in a common sheet of paper.

卡勒森這些結合了裁剪和雕刻的紙作品向我們展現了一張普通白紙的無限可能性。

They arouse your imaginations. Looking at this empty boat, for example, you can"t help but picture what could have happened to its captain.

同時我們的想像力也被激發著。比如看到這艘空無一人的小船，你不自覺地就會想駕船的人發生了什麼。

Consider the following work: Will the bird successfully suck the nectar from the flower?

下面這件作品：鳥兒能成功吸到花蜜么？

Some of Callesen"s creations are inspired by Hans Christian Andersen"s fairy tales.

作為安徒生的老鄉，卡勒森的不少作品也深受這位童話大王作品的啟發。

This work, titledThe Impossible Meeting, III, tests how familiar you are with Andersen"s stories.

比如這件題為《不可能的遇見之三》的作品，你們能猜出是源於安徒生的哪篇童話么？

It is adapted fromThe Steadfast Tin Soldier, which tells of a tin soldier"s love for a paper ballerina.

這件作品講述的是《堅定的錫兵》的情節：堅強的玩具士兵愛上了芭蕾舞女演員紙偶。

This work, which features a Chinese pavilion, reflects the relationship between traditional culture and modern development and was shown at the Shanghai Expo in 2010.

下面這件有中國樓閣的作品反映了傳統文化和現代文明的關係，曾經在2010上海世博會上展出。
