I want to break up an image of a newspaper into a bunch of random shapes (ideally polygons) to emulate randomly shredding or cutting up the page. Is there a way to do this without manually creating each shape? Or maybe a way to easily generate polygons with slight variations?

I'm trying to make a collage style piece on inkscape and I want to cut out pieces of paper texture to emulate strips of paper using arectangle shape. I know you can select two of the objects to and do object -> clip -> set, but doing that would take forever for the hundreds of distinct strips I'd want to make.

Is there a way to take an image like the one shown below and cut out multiple shapes at the same time?
