shyue woon revisits ginza’s nagakin tower for ‘capsule’ photography book
as the second book in shyue woon?s DARK CITIES trilogy, ?capsule? illustrates an imaginary narrative of tokyo?s famous nagakin tower. portrayed by a series of photographs, the book tells the story of an architect, kisho kurokawa, who is trapped inside his own design and trying desperately to escape.
Â
Â
architect and photographer, shyue woon explains, ?I grew obsessed with the tower and its madly visionary architect ? by bringing the future into the present, and the tragedy of not able to dictate the evolution once human/economics imperfection intervenes. I attempt to construct an imaginary kafkaesque narrative on someone (the architect) being trapped in his own tubula-rasa, trying to escape for the crumbling meta-textual stage of his own creation.?
