“GAME” Shigeki Fujishiro

[Title] GAME
[Artist] Shigeki Fujishiro
[Date] Jan 18 – Mar 13, 2018

The window display at Ginza Maison Hermès is a theatrical stage in the midst of the city. Each year’s annual theme of Hermès is conveyed through the creative viewpoints of diverse creators.
The theme for 2018 is A VOUS DE JOUER! (LET’S PLAY!).

The product designer Fujishiro Shigeki created a huge game with balls rolling back and forth in a unique space ingeniously fashioned out of a series of panels. Various Hermès products were arranged inside this wondrous composition, which recalled an architectural model or a pinball game. Balls would suddenly appear or disappear, and the viewer reflexively followed their movements in this exceedingly playful window display.
