On Mathildelaan, Tatzu Oozu has constructed a scaffolding structure that visitors can climb up. At the top of the scaffolding, a small house-like structure has been placed, resembling a construction site office from the outside. However, the interior is designed as a bedroom, complete with wallpaper, curtains, and a houseplant. Above the bed hangs a massive reading lamp, which turns out to be the streetlamp the visitor unsuspectingly climbed past.
Tatzu Oozu has previously taken a statue of a horseback rider, a Christ figure, a car, and a church bell as his starting points. By adding familiar, domestic elements alongside them, he astounds the audience with the enormous differences in scale.
About the artist
Tatzu Oozu, born as Tatsuro Nishi, works on projects under various pseudonyms. He consistently places an element from the public space into a domestic setting, almost always by leaving the element intact and building a space around it.
