Aomame - Sportswear

march-May 2017

I chose a character from the book 1Q84, written by Haruki Murakami. Aomame is a fitness trainer and an assassin living in Tokyo, Japan in 1984, who targets abusive men. The plot takes place in a deceptive and dystopian reality. The 1980's is a time when people came to Tokyo to look into the future. 
It embodies a dystopian metropolis, as Ridley Scott described in his film “Blade Runner” .One of the buildings that represents the period is the Nakagin Capsule Tower, designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa, as part of the architectural metabolism movement. The building consists of modular cells, which can be dismantled and assembled, represents the concept of a city that constantly changes and develops.
