"An empty chair is waiting for people to sit down, and then a chair is connecting to other chairs," he explained. "So it's really like a waiting spot, open for everybody to sit down. That's kind of the metaphor we're using."

Born in Hokkaido, Japan, Kawamata has been known for his use of scrap materials in many of his installation. The artist also attended in important international events from a very young age.
