TOKYO

2018 558×1210

Polyester film, paper

Tokyo is a most ebullient city, its reigning chaos having a big influence upon the lives of its inhabitants. The petals the work is composed of photographic angles and takes describing the city of Tokyo, patiently assembled piece after piece.

The colors printed on the material of this work are originally part of the colors of Tokyo. Various scenes of Tokyo were photographed with a camera, and then the prints were chopped up into small pieces. In a sense, these colors could be considered camouflage for Tokyo, but the elusive abstraction of these colors and their symbolism on the city map suggest the chaos of the city.
