In his 30s, our artist friend CK asked us to design his apartment. In our near 30s, together with his new media studio, we did an illuminated tower in Wuhan. Surely, at the beginning, nobody knew there would be a tower.

The green cycle path that runs through the heart of Thyssen-Krupp Steel’s large industrial site offers visitors a chance to pass through a monumental industrial landscape. Still in operation, 24 hours a day, here one is lost in time and adrift in history.

If you couldn’t find anything strange, please think twice.

Cold

We made Cold to celebrate Yoko’s birthday. Yoko had been thinking for having a pinwheel for a long time. Therefore we decided to DIY some and put them together in a meaningful way.

It was just another autumn-like summer day in Valsassina, wet and chilly. A trembling character came into our mind. It was 冷 (lĕng), a Chinese character meaning cold in English.

In this way it materialized man’s sensation of ‘cold’ in an interactive way, and at the same time make the room even colder…

At the starting point of the lovely cycling path stretching all the way from Pasturo to Taceno, there is a Mari.

It leans to one side of the path. All the ending points of the path have two Mari, except this one. Soon, we found the missing Mari lies on the river bed nearby.
