Kishio Suga is one of the most influential figures in the history of site-specific installation in Japan.

Soon after his graduation, he began making ephemeral arrangements of natural and manmade materials in outdoor locations around Tokyo, a practice he later termed “fieldwork.” He simultaneously translated this activity into indoor environments, and quickly gained recognition for unprecedented installations such as Parallel Strata (1969), a totemic enclosure made of paraffin wax, and Soft Concrete (1970), four vertical steel plates arranged into a square and shored up with a mound of oil-infused concrete...

The work captures the aspect of Mono-ha, an art movement led by Japanese and Korean artists of the 20th-century. The Mono-ha artists explored the encounter between natural and industrial materials.
