like a cave dug into a cliff, or fossils hundreds of millions years old trapped in lava, when something is buried in another entity, it constitutes an inseparable whole with the background. by applying a similar concept to a shop display at diesel shibuya, beijing-based architect yoshimasa tsutsumi has developed an installation method where goods and space are fused with each other.
in creating a plastic wall, he has devised small drawers piled on top of each other in large quantities. using paper square pipes 40 x 40mm in diameter for the main body and 35 x 35mm in diameter for the drawers, a set of 10,000 units slide within a tiny mechanism covering the whole wall. like three-dimensional glyphs, a flat inlay is focused, corresponding with the light. the digital wall can be physically manipulated for users to personally configure it in which ever way.
