Paperbag Igloo

紙袋のイグルー(東京、2008年)
Paperbag Igloo, Tokyo, 2008

紙袋のイグルー
日本橋茅場町にあるギャラリー兼古書店でのインスタレーション。『超合法建築図鑑』(彰国社)に掲載した写真をスライドプロジェクタで映写することを試みた。量販の紙袋3枚を上下に噛み合わせたブロックを作り、袋の持ち手部分で連結して積層させることで、スクリーンと暗幕を兼ねた壁をつくり出した。また鏡で画像を反射させることで投影距離を稼ぎ小空間に大画像を出現させた。エスキモーの雪の家・イグルーのような空間。
My writing book “Super Legal Buildings” was published 2 years ago. This is an exhibition for this book at art bookstore in Tokyo. This book was two-color processed, but we received many requests that they wanted to see the photos in full colors. I wanted to show the pictures as big as possible and decided to use a projector. But there was one problem. The gallery is attached right next to the bookstore, and there was no way of making the room dark. What I did was a screen for both light interception and projection. The material I chose was a simple paper bag used at this bookstore. I’ve stacked 3 of them together and made it into a box, and then taped the string handles to make a sort of shelter shaped like an igloo.
