Takashi Kuribayashi_INBETWEEN


Yuri Endo 2011 a Takashi Kuribayashi exhibition @ Beyond Museum

The exhibition INBETWEEN by Takashi Kuribayashi mainly features his signature installation; the giant snow white floating forest made by Japanese paper and pulp which to meant to realise the rifts of the land surface and their borderlines and gives us a different perspective on viewing the forest from the forest floor.

Although the exhibition was rather smaller ( in number of works that were presented) than I had expected, I enjoyed the use of space and the floating forest. Additionally, some unique objects and paintings he presented besides the forest; Wooden Yatai, a mobile food stool and photograph like paintings of tree branches which can be inspirations for my upcoming projects. I especially liked the metal cooler with leaves locked up inside the huge block of ice, for its inexplicable aesthetic.
