john BECKER and sofia KRIMIZI: grown from a tissue culture extracted from the occupant, the architecture mimics the natural processes that generate the human envelope. epidermic hyperplasia is a semi-living structure consisting of human tissue cells and a pga scaffolding that provides the structure for the epidermis. the pga scaffolding is a biodegradable plastic that provides the necessary nutrients to grow the flesh; the scaffolding is consumed by the tissue as it grows eventually causing the demise of the entire system.

noriko AMBE: after getting aware of the viewpoint of an “empty self,” i started in 1999 a series of works using paper, titled “linear-actions projects by drawing and cutting.” it looks like annual rings of a tree or topographical map or waive, but it isn’t. it is absolutely the traces of actions of a person, which is me.
so to speak, i have been mapping the mysterious land between physical and emotional geography. i want to attain something sublime. the entrance of the way is detail. the detail is the key point of nature, and we are part of nature. even though the actions are simple, i do not try to draw / cut mechanical or perfect lines in my work, for subtle natural distortions convey the nuances of human emotions, habits, or biorhythm. for this reason, i take care to make all works by hand.

used by 18th century european colonists who took land from australian
aborigines who saw no evidence of settlement, such as agricultural or
religious structures. the european colonists concluded that the native
people did not ‘own’ the land, merely roamed it.
