Piranesi In Tokyo

1 Jan

Set in the round in a disused car showroom, a dense, proliferating mass of towers and walls was inspired by the impenetrable nature of Tokyo’s urban fabric. The audience sat around the edges looking in, as the block structures slowly revolved as they transformed, revealing hitherto unseen vistas into the centre. Circling the space on an overhead rail, a video camera transmitted the hidden views to the audience seated on all four sides of the space.
