RUINS persist in defiance of their intended purpose, issuing an unvoiced challenge to fill in the blanks; not just what it was, but what it was like. RUINS signal across time, their messages shifting with cultural contexts, yet stubbornly refusing to return fully to dust or silence, clinging to a form of life just a little bit longer...

RUINS is the Tokyo, Japan-based creative studio of Masa Tanaka and Samuel Rhodes. Bilingual and bicultural, the studio works on a wide range of commissioned and self-initiated projects.
