Many Los Angeles companies that deal with tons of paperwork would probably love to hire Japanese performance artist Sachiko Abe, who has been cutting fine pieces of A4 paper for more than 15 years. As an artist, Sachiko Abe has perfected her cutting skills, and her expertise probably rivals many cutting-edge industrial shredders in terms of fineness. Since 2004, she has traveled and performed all over the world in cities like New York, Oslo, Frankfurt, Kyoto, and many other cities to demonstrate her amazing cutting skills. Interestingly enough, Abe began cutting papers regularly to calm her while she was a patient at an insane asylum. Art and performance aside, shredding papers has importance in the business world, too. To safely and legally dispose off unwanted papers, businesses can hire companies that perform document shredding in Los Angeles to help them shred their redundant documents. With her Cut Papers performances, Abe explores the meditative properties of cutting paper as an art form. She says, “The act of cutting is a constant exercise through which I organize and structure my random thoughts. The rhythm of the scissors, the fineness and the length of paper strip correspond to the process of my thinking, and its effect on the body.” “Her scissors are connected to a speaker so you hear every cut,” explains Pete Carr, a photographer who saw Abe perform in the 2010 Manchester Biennial. “It's oddly calming to listen to and incredibly beautiful to look at.” To many onlookers, it is the silently repetitive nature of the sound and observable gestures that is so relaxing. Portable shredders typically found in home offices and other small workplaces give the same relaxing effect with its distinct buzzing sound that many parents and kids love. In a Wordpress blog, a mother named Stephanie shared that the sound of the shredder, the “slightly electrical smell” of paper, and the physical act of emptying bins into garbage bags were “heavenly”. The office, unfortunately, is not a place to relax. Even if you do your own shredding, nothing is relaxing about having to tear to pieces ream after ream of paper. Fortunately, companies that specialize in Los Angeles document shredding can provide on-site mobile shredding to their clients. Business owners can deposit their redundant documents in lockable security consoles, and shredding specialists will then pick up these consoles and perform on-site shredding.
