Special installation by art collective
DAISY BALLOON.
DAISY BALLOON (Balloon artist) Profile
DAISY BALLOON is a balloon unit of worldwide balloon artist Rie Hosokai and art director/graphic designer Takashi Kawada. Since forming in 2008, they have
produced many balloon art works based on the themes of “perception and quality.” Above all, the balloon dresses have fascinated many people through the
intricacy of detail that suggests architectural qualities. Their daily fieldwork consists of searching for philosophical themes and interacting with people and objects,
but their vision is constantly looking toward achieving essential harmony with their surroundings.
In these pieces, we wanted to create a single narrative from both the past and the present of Asahikawa as well as its relationship between
people and the forest. This story is divided into three chapters which are a metaphor that expresses the movement from the cultural climate
of Asahikawa to the symbiotic relationship between its people and forests, then concludes with the process from which the furniture of
Asahikawa is crafted. The snow, forests and people all symbolize Asahikawa, and they shine the brightest when linked together. We hope
that through our work you will be able to feel the light cast into the world by the furniture of Asahikawa.
