e-erik: “A suburban street near Shimo Kitazawa. His back-alley woodframe apartment house is built on a slope, giving it good exposure and even something of a view. A department store display decorator, he lives in a cheap 65,000 yen one-room plus kitchen, bath and WC apartment. Straddling the worlds of art and commerce - where he must take pains that "artistic elements work successfully on a commercial basis” - he swears by his thick Damien Hirst artbook, his iMac and all his Final Home clothes. What he no longer wears, he takes to the shop to get passed out to the homeless while he gets T-shirts in exchange. He likes the feeling of being involved in something bigger than mere fashion. He even has every one of the teddy bears (not just stuffed toys, they’re pocket warmers too) Final Home puts out with each new collection.“ HAPPY VICTIMS -- source link
