Midori Araki
January 12th, 2010

Nakako Hayashi’s jumper X Midori Araki’s chair. From a visit to Midori’s house the other day for an interview going in the upcoming issue of one of my favourite magazines, Apartamento. Takashi Homma took photos for the interview; one especially good shot was of Midori’s photogenic but timid cat. While we were drinking tea Midori told us a story about her neighbour – Tadanori Yokoo. He rides a Mamachari around the neighbourhood to and from his studio. To get his attention before she knew him Midori placed a huge Yokoo poster in her window facing out to the street. Just so she could be sure that in a neighbourhood where he went unnoticed, he knew she knew.
