TOKYO NUDE

Rumi Ando’s Projekt Tokyo Nude zeigt um die Megacity bereinigt um Werbetafeln, Lichter und Menschen. Und plötzlich wirken Wolkenkratzer wie willkürlich zusammenstelle Bauklötze.

Hat auf jeden Fall auch etwas, dennoch wird einem klar dass das fehlende Wirrwarr den Reiz der Stadt natürlich mit ausmacht. Tolles Projekt, gibt auch ein Artbook.

Tokyo has been continuously renewing with the times.
The buildings that were built crowded together almost seem like a life
form deeply rooted in the city.
Living in Tokyo, I live in symbiosis with this rigid life form.

On the other hand, the sense of community between people seems to be
shifting to the Internet. A distant virtual connection may be much
more important than a relationship with a neighbor across the wall.
Virtual became real, and real is becoming virtual.
Now the outlines of the city of Tokyo are becoming blurred.

I wonder what will Tokyo look like when we no longer need material functions.
There are no entrances and no exits, only box-like structures spreading out.
All activities are completed in the box, and photos, text, and traces
of human consumption activities disappear from the city.
