Le installazioni di Kawamata reinventano e fanno rivivere le architetture che investono mettendone al contempo in discussione la loro funzione ed il loro contesto. il progetto qui presentato è stato realizzato nel 1989 a Toronto dove l'artista ha connesso due edifici neoclassici collegandone con la sua struttura aerea di legnetti i pilastri corinzi. Sebbene l'artista dichiari che i suoi progetti non abbiano alcun fine critico politico-sociale in realtà il contrasto visivo che provocano induce ad una riflessione proprio sulla qualità dell'architettura e dei piani urbanistici.
