The Tokyo Museum of Modern Art is hosting an exhibition on the future of architecture these days, with the aim of creating a new perspective on the organization of space. Here within the framework of this exhibition, a Japanese artist Haruka Kojin and created an installation called Contact lens.
Architecture is an art like all others. And it would be wrong to view it solely as frozen music, as the artists Elise Morin and Clémence Eliard, or Akko Golenbeld do in their works. Architecture needs to be perceived from different angles, through different prisms. And that's exactly what Haruka Kojin calls for with her installation Contact Lens.
Contact lenses are a large-scale metaphor that conveys a new look at architecture, space and creativity in general. The Contact Lens installation consists of several dozen huge contact lenses made of acrylic. Some are completely transparent and some are yellow.
There are several meanings hidden in the Contact Lens installation, all of which are related to architecture. The first of these is the conviction of many contemporary authors that architecture should be natural, imperceptible, in fact transparent. It should be as ergonomic and utilitarian as possible, without any embellishment or distortion.
On the other hand, architecture should be multifaceted, so that each person sees in it something of his own, accessible and understandable to him personally. She should not only merge with the surrounding background, but also change it, make it better, add colors and details to it.
In addition, architecture should keep pace with art, be an integral part of it, and the creation of architectural projects should be approached in the same way as the creation of paintings, sculptures or artistic texts - with maximum inspiration, maximum impact and maximum individuality.
