Art Square and Neighborhood
HIDAKA Erika
Hidaka says she thought it would be splendid if “people were walking by the shops and suddenly saw a huge billowing shape that on closer inspection, had hollows they could flop down on for a break.” Wafting out of the everyday landscape, this airy, see-through seat blending seamlessly, at once there and not, into Towada’s retail district, creates a novel landscape of its own.
