To celebrate the 20th anniversary our first store in Japan at 2-8-13, we present a Line 2 installation on view in the store until 15 November.
Line 2 is our initiative for creative dialogue. For this instalment, Tokyo-based artist Mio Suzuki and historic French tapestry manufacturers Les Manufactures Nationales – Sèvres & Mobilier National collaborate to create an artwork that explores themes of deconstruction, time, memory and repurposing through tapestry.
Les Manufactures Nationales in Paris curated a selection of 59 contemporary and antique tapestries, some of which were sourced from flea markets and are up to 400 years old. They were shipped to Mio Suzuki in Tokyo, where, over three months, the artist intricately unravelled and rewove them into a selection of pieces.
