materializing from the architecture of paris’ place vendome are a series of parasitic wooden constructions installed by japanese artist tadashi kawamata. ‘tree huts’ are temporary structures built around both the the vendôme column and an adjacent edifice, interweaving and aggregating from the monuments’ existing framework like the labyrinthine weave of a bird’s nest in a tree. four small cabins are organized around the exterior windows of a 19th century building situated around the plaza’s circumference, while layered sheets of material loom around the 45-meter-high column at its core. suspended in the air and emerging from pillar, the in3stallation of the wooden panels required a construction team for their sky-high locale. the artwork is presented as part of FIAC 2013 and will be exhibited in the public space for one month.

Tadashi was such a nice boy- such a shame he turned out such a poor carpenter and now he’s [email protected]$king up al the nice old buildings
wooden planks are his (pointless) signature for 3 decades now.
