It's an invasion of hats with this Akio Hirata exhibition for Nendo. The entire room the exhibit takes place in is completely decked out with different sized and shaped hats and audiences stepping foot into the idiosyncratic display will surely be overwhelmed by euphoric sensations.
Akio Hirata is an internationally acclaimed milliner and, having worked over 70 years in the industry, is being celebrated by Japanese design studio Nendo. If you're wondering how many hats were used to engulf this hypnotizing room, Nendo reports that it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000.
Implications - Shock imagery, popularly thought of in terms of the bizarre, can come in the form of serene art exhibitions. These sorts of imagery also evoke a different set of pathos than their outlandish counterparts. Corporations need to be weary of the types of shock imagery they use as to not mistakenly convey themselves undesirably.
