CHIKARA OHNO / SINATO

JUL 23, 2010 – DEC 12, 2010

DIESEL DENIM GALLERY AOYAMA presents a store installtion “ROLLS” by Chikara Ohno / sinato.

Concept by the architect

The characteristic of aluminum, the material used for this installation, is its softness and thinness, yet harder than cloth or paper. Its possessesion of both soft and hard qualities makes it easy to be bent by hands. By winding and sometimes extending this single long strip of aluminum from the entrance to the back-end of the store, it creates a beautiful waving form, changing its function and features as the material strength changes. This flexible quality of the material represents a gentle connection between the softness of clothes and hardness of architecture.

DIESEL DENIM GALLERY AOYAMAでは、このたび、大胆で意外性のある空間構成や視覚効果をもった造形性のあるインテリアで国内外の注目を集める建築家・大野力（シナト）によるインスタレーション"ROLLS”を展示致します。

Concept by the architect

長い長い帯状のアルミを巻いたり伸ばしたりしながら、ストアの手前から奥へ、ひとつながりに空間をかたちづくっていきます。ここで使うアルミはとても薄く手で簡単に曲げられるようなもので、板と呼ぶには柔らかすぎるけれど布や紙よりは硬い、そんな中間的な物質感をもっています。巻いて塊にすることで硬くしたり、伸ばして1枚にすることで柔らかくしたり、強度の変化とともにその機能や表情を変えながら、全体としては波打つような美しいフォルムをつくります。それは、建築の硬さと洋服の柔らかさをゆるやかに繋ぐような不思議な存在です。
