Kiel Johnson: Cardboard Twin Lens Reflex Camera Time Lapse

I see time lapse videos as an archive project because someone is documenting an object/project/thing over a period of time, sometimes years, sometimes days, sometimes minutes, but it shows a growth or movement etc. I find these kinds of projects very interesting.
This is a video of Kiel Johnson creating an oversize camera out of cardboard. (and cameras are used to document!)

It's interesting how he uses the cardboard, it starts to look like he's shaping wood. Plus cardboard is such a common thing, why is it frowned upon as material for art? It also appears that multiple people collaborated to make this video possible.
