Hermès × Tokujin Yoshioka


based on a window display he first presented in 2004, the japanese designer tokujin yoshioka has now restructured it using a japanese actress currently being presented at Maison Hermès, japan. the installation will run from now until january 19th, 2010.
'on designing a window-display of Maison Hermès, I intended to express people’s daily 'movements' with a suspicion of humor. there are moments when I perceive a hidden presence of a person in the movements born naturally in daily life. I created a design where one can perceive someone behind the scarves as if life were being breathed into them. the window is designed with an image of woman projected on to a monitor. the scarf softly sways in the air in response to the woman’s blow.

On the initiative of the global coalition tcktcktck.org and Greenpeace incoming travelers at the airport in Copenhagen, starting today, will be greeted by billboards with fake photo montages of the faces of the aged leader of the world that I apologize for not being able to tackle climate change.
