Colored Boundaries
by SPREAD
An opportunity to contemplate what borders and boundaries are, expressed through multiple layers of drapery. The overlapping fabrics create areas that are both transparent and opaque, giving rise to the ambiguity of boundaries that seem to be present and yet not—a perception of “seeming to exist yet not existing” and “appearing not to exist yet existing,” suggesting an afterimage of what could have been there in the past, or might be there in the future.
Try discerning the hidden boundaries in your consciousness: the inside and outside of your own environment, and the spaces between yourself and others.
Spread is a Tokyo-based creative unit founded by Haruna Yamada and Hirokazu Kobayashi. Characterized by their use of color, they fuse the long-sighted environmental approach of landscape design with vivid graphic techniques, incorporating memory into their work as they strive to expand (“spread”) every subject they engage with.
