"What Yanagi pays attention to are the cultural codes embedded within the great architecture and passageways (arcades) that have frozen the atmosphere of modernism amidst the acceleration of the period. The Elevator Girls, like apparitions, appear as its peculiar signs. This fabricated space of modernism, stripped of a time axis, is simultaneously akin to a future city where all excitement has faded. Yanai's Elevator Girls reside in both a past and future time-space." (Aomi Okabe). White wooden box with light smudeges.
