Statement tomotosi’s long experience in urban planning and architectural design has led him to the idea that human activities are determined by following existing roads and architecture, but on the other hand, roads and architecture should also be constantly maintained to accommodate new human activities. However, it is also true that roads and architecture cannot be easily altered. Therefore, he has taken the expedient measure of intervening in human behavior in the city as an artist. He aims to create distortions in urban space and public rules through his actions and to transform people’s movements. As a result, he believes that the ability to propose new ways of using the city will lead to the public maintenance of the city.
