This 2006 book by Dutch graphic studio floortje fluitsma uses paper cutouts applied to photographs to illustrate a short poem by Cralan Kelder. You can see larger photos of the book here.
From that website, I found the Paper Cut Expo — the site is in Dutch (you can translate it here) — there are links to all the artists in the expo and the introduction says
Referring to the sharp edges of paper, this exhibition shows that paper is not just something to print or write. Decoding is a mindset which also apply in the analog world. More than 15 international designers show innovative ways to deal with (still) one of the most important materials of our civilization.
