THEME
In terms of the configuration and installation of the venue, the familiar ideas and things create the interesting space. Each booth demonstrates the exhibitors own ideas and reflects a variety of presentations. The theme of the event revolves around the idea of “Make Shift” or impromptu. Five constructions at the site reflect this theme of building on the spot and appear rough and incomplete.
INSTALLATION

The project involved the collaboration of Kimura, Masamichi Tosa, and SuzukiYuuri. The machine automatically makes breakfast and was in operation every day of the exhibition, causing endless laughs and becoming a popular piece in the exhibition.
