(It was not random, as I have been in fact thinking about him ever since his involvement in gCircuit in Bangkok three years ago, then his death two years ago, then when I was invited to Tokyo Wonder Site few months ago, when I reached Tokyo last month, when I went to the video store in Shinjuku Ni-chome last week).Īnswered Koh Masaki during an interview when he was participating in 2012's gCircuit Song Kran. I guess all these signals of goodbyes and the heavy masculine undertone of Shibuya Cityhall reminded me of Koh Masaki. Maybe it was time to go, maybe it was not. Despite its good condition though, the smell of age was apparent, not potent but hints of it tickled my interest. Erected six floors from the ground in a rather curvy shape, built from individuals glistening blue tiles. Then the building itself as a form of masculine architecture.
A little robotic I can say, but there were chaos involved as well, maybe because of the countdown to demolishment or eagerness to move towards a new precinct. Most of them were uniformed in their salary men suits, executing actions which were somewhat similar and roaming around in predetermined paths.
Although there were women (both in the portraits as well as office workers), it was dominated by the male population. The atmosphere was extremely masculine as well.
