Kotaro Horiuchi Creates A Paper Hideout For Fusionner Three. Installation
Japanese architect Kotaro Horiuchi cut out profiles of gabled houses from huge sheets of paper to produce a tunnel inside a university gallery, forming the third installation in his Fusionner series (+ slideshow).
Kotaro Horiuchi hung sheets of white paper in the gallery in the Aichi region of Japan to generate a tunnel for his installation Fusionner 3., also titled Air Home, following comparable projects at a gallery and his studio in Nagoya.

The shapes of gabled homes cut from every sheet slightly differ in size, becoming smaller towards the rear to form a backdrop with a tiny window in the final layer.
“When you went inside by producing your body smaller sized, you could slowly notice a silhouette of a property, which seemed to change its size continuously,” mentioned Horiuchi
These sheets avert access from the back, encouraging visitors to enter through the quite a few gaps in the sides.
The shape and scale of the space developed the impression of becoming inside a paper shed.
The layers had been suspended from the ceiling and stopped above the ground so people could crawl, sit or lie underneath them.
Fusionner three. was installed in the gallery of Aichi Shukutoku University in between 7 May and ten June to coincide with the exhibition of students’ work.
The piece designed a presentation space for students’ models beside their two-dimensional work hung on a wall nearby.
“You had been able to knowledge the air spreading in it and discover models hidden among the papers,” Horiuchi said. “You could gather, go over, appreciate the moment and even lie down.”
His prior two styles for the Fusionner series included punctured membranes stretched across a gallery so visitors could pop up via the holes and a white cave-like space in his office.
