hajime kinoko to collaborate on an installation within his 'mixing media' exhibition. for one piece, kinoko wrapped
electrical cord and rope around guixé's famous 'cau' lamp designed for danese, which hung down from
the ceiling. when asked if he liked binding and tying the designed objects, he prefers performing
bondage techniques on real human beings. the installation will be sold with bondage works included.
