A careful study of the human relations that define it and the way of life which results from it allows him each time to determine progressively the nature of his project. His pieces, for the most part temporary, are generally made from timber sometimes from salvage material from the immediate vicinity. Tadashi Kawamata's pieces recreate connections between the past and the present, between outside and inside, between the actual and the potential: they reveal another identity to the spaces, highlighting the invisible but quite real aspect of their cultural and social dimension. The creation of a community with which he shares the research and physical work is the drive and basis for each of his projects, as we can see with the experience of Saint-Thélo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accroche\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accroche\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accroche\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accroche\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"kamelmennour","offers":[{"title":"Book","offer_id":32954804437097,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/1855\/7033\/files\/Overflow.png?v=1753190984","url":"https:\/\/shop.mennour.com\/products\/tadashi-kawamata-over-flow","provider":"Mennour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
