Tatzu Nishi is known for one brilliant gesture: building temporary private rooms around public sculpture and architecture. A weather vane on top of a cathedral in Basel, Switzerland becomes a table-top sculpture in a normal-looking apartment. A clock tower in Ghent incongruously protrudes into a hotel suite. At the 2011 Singapore Biennial, visitors could book a one-night stay in a hotel room built around an enormous cement lion-fish. (read more and see a slideshow of Nishi’s other works here)
