Yumi Kori : "windowspace" - one day intervention

YUMI KORI
15 March 2015


Yumi Kori is an artist and architect based in New York and Tokyo. She works within the context of places, transforming them by altering architectural settings through installations and interventions. By using light and sound to discover new spatial and temporal dimensions, Kori's projects set out to discover what is hidden in exiting/entrance areas of a space.

Kori presented "windowspace" which focused on the two main windows in the Platform 102.  The intervention gave viewers an example of what is framed from this perspective by erasing our peripheral vision and capturing each moment passing as a frame, thereby generating ideas about the area outside the space....within it.
