Yoshiaki Kaihatsu: First you should know that his last name, ‘kaihatsu,’ means ‘evolution’ or ‘development’ in Japanese and serves as the artist’s unusual but real family name. Born in 1966 in Yamanashi prefecture, this Japanese artist has been on the art scene for quite a while and is renowned for his fragile as well as futuristic architectural creations made of recycled styrofoam packaging, dust, coffee and milk, used posters - even porno magazines. Not so long ago, his experiments with fashion had only been displayed at Tokyo’s Maru Gallery. Recently, however, he presented his clothing alterations to the hungry crowds at Galerie Tristesse in Berlin - which has been his inspirational base for the last two years. Bridging the gap of his two cities, his works were shown at last year’s Berlin-Tokyo / Tokyo-Berlin exhibition at the prestigious Neue Nationalgalerie.
