Takashi Murakami “Randoseru” 1991

“Randoseru Project comprises eight backpacks (Randoseru) that mimic the leather backpacks that many Japanese children wear, whose design is originally based on a military pack. Thus, in addition to evoking the omnipresent Prada bags that many Japanese consumers covet, these backpacks have a more bellicose connotation. Murakami exaggerated this quality by making the backpacks not a leather but a materials such a great blue shark, cobra, crocodile, two tyês of harpseal, hippopotamus, ostrich, and sei whale skins. He was of course aware that certain materials were controversial, if not illegal, for use in luxury goods. With “Randoseru Project”, Murakami intended to comment the exploitative use of endangered species to produce luxury goods, but not to do so cynically. He also exploring art’s status as a luxury good, an issue he would mine further in collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton.”
