Here at Truly Deeply we cel­e­brate cre­ative obses­sion in what ever form it takes, from brand design through
to instal­la­tion art. The other day I came across ‘Sta­ple Art – The mak­ing of Ephemi­crop­o­lis’ by artist
Peter Root.
With patience, vision and a very steady hand, Peter Root arranged over 100.000 sta­ples in a
period of 40 hours. What can I say, some peo­ple are obsessed about what they do.

The sta­ple stacks were each bro­ken into dif­fer­ent sizes to rep­re­sent small scale build­ings to large sky­scrap­ers.
The whole instal­la­tion takes up a floor space of about 6m x 3m.

What I really enjoy about this instal­la­tion by Peter Root is that he had a vision and put it into action.
So many times peo­ple come up with ideas only to sit on them — even­tu­ally not doing them at all. Such a sim­ple
idea once exe­cuted has cre­ated some­thing of sim­ple wonder.
