“I am like a migratory bird. They are called nomadic, but a nomad is something too special. As a migratory bird you live somewhere and move away every season, but you also have to come back. "
Tadashi Kawamata operates worldwide. His works relate to their surroundings. He develops building structures from superimposed beams and boards that are obtained on site or nearby. In some projects it refers to the makeshift housing of the homeless. Other monumental workpieces are bridge projects or inaccessible tree huts such as B. at the Berlin House of World Cultures. Kawamata's temporary wooden slat architecture encases churches, hospitals, houses and abandoned hangars.
