tadashi kawamata

another massive influence from my art-studying days, japanese artist tadashi kawamata's site-specific installations recreate often unseen and unknown connections between the past present and future, between the internal and the external, the actual and the potential - they reveal another identity to the spaces they are installed in, highlighting the mostly invisible elements of their cultural, historical and social dimensions.
his installations trace the urban chaos that goes unnoticed behind such large, seemingly organised facades, kawamata's complicated amorphous timber growths' spilling out of every available door, window or crack in the ceiling to parasitically attach itself to the neighbouring
structures.
