DOPE!
kazuhiko kawahara is a japanese architect and photographer who creates mesmerizing images of
landscapes and infrastructure. kawahara uses digital manipulation to morph and transform buildings
into strange sights that explore the limits of form. the works suggest that kawahara uses the technique
as a way to prototype buildings or even imagine new ones. he usually shoots buildings which are very
banal and boring to people in an attempt to reveal the hidden structures and systems. the works are
very reminiscent of kaleidoscopes, but also remind us of fillip dujardin’s work.
