Villa Cheminée in Cordemais, France, an art installation by Tatzu Nishi
Tatzu Nishi (西野達, Nishino Tatsu, born Tazro Niscino 1960) is a Japanese site specific installation artist. He has created and exhibited works under the pseudonyms Tatzu Oozu, Tatsurou Bashi, Taturo Atzu, and Amabouz Taturo.
Nishi is known for his art interventions, which often transform historical monuments by surrounding a statue or a small element of a building with domestic space. In some cases the sculptures also operate as functioning hotels. Nishi prefers doing his work outside of museums and galleries. He chooses large-size projects to involve more people participating and being interested in art. He has a preference for human-made or artificial nature rather than real nature. He discussed the perspective that Japanese people might not have a strong inclination towards nature as reflected in traditional Japanese gardening practices like Bonsai or Shakkei. The “act of thinking” peaked his interest in artificial nature.[1]
