Phoebus Rotterdam presents sculptures by Ken’ichiro Taniguchi, based on tracings of "hecomi—areas" of wear or structural alteration—discovered at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in 2024. Together with Ayako Taniguchi, he transformed these silhouettes into three-dimensional sculptures using recycled yellow PVC. The exhibition features seven large sculptures and 61 smaller works, each uniquely shaped through cutting, folding and reassembling the material. The yellow and white combination recalls the sun and snow of Hokkaido, Taniguchi’s birthplace. The original locations of the "hecomi" have been documented and mapped in a newly published "Hecomi Map" by Phoebus Rotterdam.
