interview and portrait

by ALEPH MOLINARI

 

Born in Mikasa, a mining town on the island of Hokkaido, world-renowned artist Tadashi Kawamata creates dynamic structures using reclaimed wood, planks, and furniture. He builds ephemeral installations in galleries, streets, buildings, and even trees. His work challenges the notions of archi­tecture and permanence, while addressing ecology, social inequality, and the fragility of our hypertechnological society.
