A protoplast of the Hairdresser’s shop is the green moon-apple found in the autumn sky at the full moon. I thought it was a garden of blooming women: the fluctuating time and all the shapes created by women. The lobby and rooms for washing and cutting hair are two oblong and joining rectangular spaces. The bulk that sticks out at their meeting point changes in accordance with the natural illumination. In the afternoon, the dust of light is brought inside by visitors. A profile of faces twinkles on walls made of glass and concrete. In the washing rooms, a ripple of water is heard. Forms of forthcoming passions emerge from the scratching of scissors, combs, and hair-dryers. A mysterious shining of hair in the evening twilight. A green reassuring moonhead in the smiles of women walking out.
