Love Bench Project (2006) by Shiro MASUYAM


Following my time living in Berlin, Europe my impression of western society is that its population is more comfortable with expressing its sexual identity to the public than Japanese society.

My idea was, if I install special benches, which are suitable for heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples in the public spaces, I was curious as to how people would use these benches.

When I ralized this project in Irish Museum of Modern Art, this was a kind of experimental public project which developed depending on people's reactions.
