Hummingbird Flipbook Machine
This motor-driven Flipbook Machine brings images to life through paper and mechanics. Flipping pages make these handmade sculptures live in real sound and space. Creatures flit and flicker by to awaken the poetry of movement and inspire through nature and invention.
Created by kinetic artist J. C. Fontanive in 2004 and handmade in his NYC studio. Each machine is hand-crafted from Stainless Steel and inlayed with individual archival inkjet prints on acid-free paper.
Black-Throated Mango. Released in 2021 by J. C. Fontanive with original artwork by Sheila Fontanive. Motor-Driven. Limited Edition of 75.
