[Tohoku] Shuji Inoue

From his experiences of the 3.11 Tohoku earthquake, Shuji Inoue is interested in the fragility and risks of society, as well as the points in the structures where society and nature meet. There are many works in public spaces which are physically confined or defined by those spaces. Inoue unravels the history and meaning of those spaces, linking them to the present through his own filter. His sculptures are composed using everyday life materials which would otherwise be waste or no longer needed.
