Makoto Kojima

“I did not choose to beatify the suburban industrial parkway, but when I found Troy, Michigan I realized I had no choice.”

b. 1978. For more than two decades Kojima has focused his work on the same industrial parkways, cul-de-sacs, strip malls and office corridors we drive by without a second thought. His work treats the suburb not as a place but as a system of images, habits and spatial arrangements.
