The Kyle Hilton GIRLS paper-based cut outs are made in the image of the HBO show’s male characters. These artistic pop cultural portraits come forward at a time when script writer Lena Dunham has placed the greatest amount of emphasis upon the series' implicated actors.
Avid fans of GIRLS will take notice not only of Hilton’s accurate depiction of the faces and bodies of the on-screen men, but also of his on point references to the many props and motifs that are now tied to the likes of Adam Sackler, Ray Ploshansky, Elijah Krantz and Charlie Dattolo. Among the pieces displayed are guitars, smartphones, bongo drums and coffee mugs, enabling those who print out these sheets to interact with the dolls.
