Category: Art -

Concept : Expressing the centimeter-level precision of the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System.

Emmanuelle Moureaux is a French architect living in Tokyo. Her latest art installation titled “I am here” for the exhibition “Space in Ginza” employs 18,000 woman’s paper silhouettes in 100 shades of colors, which express the crowd of people in Ginza. Almost drowning inside the crowd, three silhouettes (two girls and a cat) are lost inside, which encourage visitors to search and spot them within.

The assemblage of prismatic silhouettes of woman. It is an expression of non-stopping crowded street in Tokyo. One can get drown in the same repeated days, becoming one of the people on the street. Just like looking for the “lost” silhouettes in the crowd, the installation is a reminder to rethink where you belong.
