From the Gallerys press release

".....an installation filling the gallery with a cardboard city, and populating the environment with hoodies. The hooded figures represent the marginalized and anonymous. The environment he has created from discarded cardboard boxes is a comment on the current ecomomic crisis and its impact around the world. The cardboard city also plays with ideas about architectural style and urban planning, utopias and dystopias. Using quotations from 1960s architecture the installation links Tokyo with Parsons home town of Coventry in England, notorious for its massive swaths of concrete".
