Street Furniture
HIDAKA Erika
Hidaka Erika has produced a see-through bench that blends into the landscape of Towada’s central shopping district. Walking along the street, one suddenly spies a billowing shape, and upon further inspection, notices depressions in its surface.
Hidaka notes that she wanted to create a space where visitors could sit down and take a break on the street. The volume that is Cloud can be likened to air, having a faint presence, and forms an entirely new landscape.
