Shuji Inoue+Nobumitsu Koganemaru

Title:

Relocated room

Description:

I took a walk around the site to plan the work this time. The building that is no longer in use. The Staircases that had been abandoned. I felt that the traces of these things left on the site clearly show the background of the place.
It is impossible to know the intention of the plan because the owner of the building at that time passed away. Still, I would like to think about where this place, which is confounded by people’s interaction with it, came from and where it is going.

Profile:

Nobumitsu Koganemaru
Born in Kanagawa in 1987. After working at FUJIWALABO, where he was in charge of designing houses and public facilities, organising exhibition venues and supporting artworks, he established GANEMAR.
