We have been looking forward to visiting this exhibit Second Nature while in Tokyo at 21_21 Design Sight.
The main exhibit was chairs and artworks made of synthetic crystals. Some of them are still in making inside of the special aquarium in which plays Beethoven in order to let the crystal form naturally based on the music note.
The crystal chair inside of the aquarium felt like it was an organic creature breathing like a living mermaid. It was like a baby inside of the mother’s womb who are growing slowly listening to the his mom singing Beethoven.
And because of the surreal cloud like installation inside of the exhibit space, it makes visitors feel as if they are inside of this aquarium of nothingness just like how the crystal chair is…being reborn.
I wish I could have taken better pictures. They had pretty strict rule of “no photography”. This was the one I was able to score using my iPhone.
