100 colors no.35<\/strong> \u2013 I created this installation for the world-famous Japanese masking tape brand “mt”. Part of my \u201c100 colors\u201d series, the tape made of Japanese paper (washi) was especially created for the installation in my unique 100 different shades of colors. My challenge was to create a huge moir\u00e9 you can walk and experience from the inside. In order to emphasize the linear shape characteristic of the masking tape, I used a total of 28 km length of thin tapes, regularly layered vertically and diagonally, creating a rhythmical immersive colorful space. People can walk through this immersive one hundred colors path, feeling with their entire body the various expressions of colors overlapping, creating a beautiful rainbow moir\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Architizer chatted with Tokyo-based French architect and artist Emmanuelle Moureaux<\/a> to learn more about this project.<\/p>\n

Architizer: What inspired the initial concept for your design?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emmanuelle Moureaux: First, my concept of \u201cshikiri\u201d, meaning dividing (creating) space with colors, which is the fundamental of all my works: I use colors as three-dimensional elements, like layers, in order to create spaces, not as a finishing touch applied to surfaces. I want people to feel color with their entire body.<\/p>\n

I explore colors in various forms depending on the environment, to maximize the beauty of colors. For 100 colors no.35, as form of color, I focused on the \u201cline\u201d, characteristic of the masking tape. By overlapping a lot of thin lines, I decided to create a huge moir\u00e9 you can walk and experience from the inside.<\/p>\n
