Rie Kawakami
Steel sheet, cut and polished 100 x 74x 138 cm. 2015 "The work is to express the memories of time passage in the stone over its presented space at Villa Savoye. With the complex entanglement of positive and negative shape, exchange of light and shadow are to visualize inherent energy that has been happening for vast years."
Steel 4350×9395×2700 ㎜. "The idea for this work is to portray the human will as a life form. During the show, this wire form changes when people are willing to bend the wire and pass through it. Each time they do, the form evolves. The work will become whole at the end of the exhibit, when the wire structure can finally represent the accumulated will of people."
