An oldie but a goodie today with Kyoco Taniyama‘s Rainy Lane: Rainy Lane was an installation that lasted only during the Setouchi International Art Festival 2010, and it was much more than just a few containers from which showers would come out at times. I loved it […]

I’m talking about Yoshio Kitayama‘s Birth-Sex-Life-Death-House-Legend […]
